How to Use a Glue Gun Safely:
When you work with crafts, you have to be extremely conscious of safety issues. It is always important to know what safety concerns need to be addressed with every art supply or piece of equipment that is brought into the art room. Even simple things like dye, glitter and glues can be a safety issue if it is not used correctly. Glue guns are one of the pieces of equipment that craftsmen tend to get injured with most often. There are several things that you should remember when working with a glue gun.

Try putting them in boiling water or pouring boiling water over them to see if you can soften the glue enough to get them apart. Once they are apart you can pick the hardened glue off.
The gun uses a continuous-duty heating element to melt the plastic glue, which may be pushed through the gun by a trigger mechanism, or directly by the user. The glue squeezed out of the heated nozzle is initially hot enough to burn and blister skin. The glue is tacky when hot, and hardens in anywhere from a few seconds to one minute.
Since the glue is heated, melted, then forced out a small nozzle, it could be that your nozzle isn't cleared well enough. Most guns have removable nozzles for cleaning when finished. Some people just shut the gun off when finished, then turn it back on later, only to find out that portions of the glue left in the heating head have congealed and won't melt uniformly. If the gun does not have a removable nozzle, try cleaning the opening out a bit while the glue is hot, either with a pipe cleaner or similar wire type object, just make sure it is hot but you have unplugged it before trying to clear it.
