Does anybody besides me make art out of hot glue sticks? I have been making things out of hot glue stick for years. Horses (out of glue..lol), jellyfish, flowers, monsters, if you need a vase I can make you one that won't break, but will look like stained glass. They are, for the most part, tranparent and hollow. I made an Ostrich who (Louis), is 3/1/2 feet tall. He lives in my garden after retiring from the library circuit, touring.. The is a terrific artistic medium for so many reasons, including a glue stick cost 5 cents. Louis is made out of 676 sticks,about $40.00 and he has been sold for $200.00. Then the Patron gave him back to me! I sell alot but would like to make a book and then just make the Sculptures when I feel the muse. But at the same time I am aching to share this idea with others for sharing ideas and such. How do I go about making my artistic dreams come true. PS They like indoors/outdoors/no car dashboards! Yikes!

Are Hot Glue Gun Glue Sticks Non-Toxic? I am about to build a playground out of popsicle sticks for my pet mice - it wouldn't be something that would stay in their cage - it would be for them to play on when I take them out of the cage.

The package doesn't say either way - it just says it's acid free and a must for crafter tool set. Are hot melt glue sticks generally non-toxic? They have no smell and I remember kids back whe I was a kid that would chew on them - and they didn't get sick.

What kind of glue should I use to affix the rear-view mirror in my car? I have a '92 ford deathtrap, er, I mean, Explorer, if that matters. The bloody thing just fell off yesterday. Don't tell me expoxy-type glues. They don't stick fast enough, I can't clamp it, and I can't very well sit there for 10 minutes holding the damn thing. I was thinking a hot glue gun. Well, I went to the auto supply. Bought the w/s repair kit. Followed directions EXACTLY. It didn't work. The glue is nothing but superglue and it didn't stick for beans. I think part of the problem is that the "button" is part of the mirror. It's a metal piece that looks like it slides into the mirror, and it was glued in. Should i try soaking the thing in acetone, see if I can get the button out, then try it that way.
