I never used, or even thought about, a hot glue gun until this year when I saw one at the home of a very good modeler. When I asked him about it, he told me how useful it is. He had an extra brand new Surebonder hot glue gun and sold it to me for 10 bucks.
I wish I learned about hot glue guns a long time ago. It makes gluing things together so much more fun and much easier because the glue starts to harden in a few seconds. I highly recommend them. Arnold
