Gluesticks

Has anyone ever used generic glue sticks w/the Crafty Magic Melt Little Dipper Glue Pot with success?

The instructions say it uses ONLY their patented Crafty Magic Melt oval glue sticks. Has anyone used the regular generic sticks without a problem? Thanks

1. I doubt if there would be any problem as long as you use oval glue sticks, or perhaps just cut any glue stick into pieces if you could then melted them directly in the pot. (I think all "glue sticks" are the same except for color and shape... the glue guns, or glue pots, etc, sold for glue sticks are what make them "high-temp" or "low-temp" btw, not the glue sticks themselves --iow, how hot that same glue is heated.) You might also be able to use the same pots for melting UTEE (ultrathick embossing powders, etc) and other things too since it supposedly heats to around 225 F. Diane B.
