You got it Billy!!!! Flex coat sticks will work in a glue gun. I suspect that they just buy/repackage them.

I spent 6 seconds on Google. When I run out of the archery hot melt I'm currently using, I'm going to order a higher temp hot melt for my tops, and copycat what Mike did here as it's a great idea. [ link ] This is good up to 210 degrees.
