Given my somewhat checkered history of actually reading and following instructions, it’s ironic the instructions from Evan Design is one of the few I’ve actually paid attention to. 😉
That said; I trust your experience with the hot glue. God knows it would be easier than the electricians tape I’ve been using. 👍

Truth in advertising, I just checked the actual temperature of the hot glue tip and the glue coming out. The highest reading I got was 248F, that was actually the glue as it came out, the tip was only 210F, I guess inside it's a bit hotter. Soldering temperature for an LED is 260F for ten seconds as a rule, so hot glue isn't a big deal if you don't use the super high powered guns. I use the small $10 hot glue guns, they work great for the stuff I'm doing.

For scenery and sticking large pieces of construction foam together, I use my big hot glue gun, I'm pretty sure that glue gets hotter.
