Hot glue: Hi Temp vs. Low Temp?

Does it matter? Do you use a particular type? Why or why not?

It really shouldn't matter, even the low temp stuff has a much higher melt temp than anything we use should get. I use high temp, but that's just because that's what I already had.

Same here, I only use high temp because I already had the high temp gun. But low will work, probably better since high temp takes longer to dry.

Alright. Cool. I ask because I have access to a high-temp, but didn't know if there was a particular reason that I was hearing low-temp recommended more frequently. Thanks!

Yeah in my opinion the high temp guns get the glue unnecessarily to hot, that's probably why most recommend the low temp guns. But the high temp guns work and that's what I use only because I see no need in purchasing another gun.
