Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Best glue gun in the world?


About hot glue guns:
I see this advice everywhere on the web, and even from pros I know: buy many 
cheap ones, and throw away when they break down.

What kind of mentality is this?
I hate to throw anything away. I actually prefer to hoard "interesting 
materials" for future use.
Gillette, the razor company seems to have started a craze decades ago, and 
now everything is meant to be disposable.
I hate this.

Arent' there any ways to hack hot glue guns to make them last?
If anybody knows any brand that are made to last, that are even made to be 
repaired, please refer them to me.

For now, all I can use form the dead glue guns is the fine copper wire 
inside the cord. Pretty colors that oxidize with time!
Maybe I can use the gun casing to make puppet controllers...?
