Could I use a instant glue instead of hot glue ?

[sciencetoymaker]

@frankygrime It might work if it is stiff enough to make the bendy part rigid

My glue-gun won't heat up!

It's been 30 seconds now and nothing.

@TheShezinator Cool your jets! It takes 5 minutes or so.

can we use the epoxy instead of glue gun? :))

[sciencetoymaker]

@kippylyricsvideos Yes

[sciencetoymaker]

@tomalotube Yes, using a high-powered glue gun before it fully heats up might keep you from melting holes in the straws.

im just gonna leave this here:

if you have a high power glue gun, you can use it BEFORE its fully heated. Apply glue once the gun is just hot enough to squeeze the glue out. I did this with a 60w and my super thin staws are fine
