🇬🇧 Glue gun meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card
noun
A glue gun is a hand-held tool used for arts and crafts. You put a hard glue stick in the back, plug it in, and it gets warm. When the glue stick melts, you squeeze the trigger and hot, sticky glue comes out of the tip. The melted glue cools down quickly and helps stick things like paper, buttons, fabric, and decorations together. Because the glue is hot, you have to be careful and usually need an adult to help you use a glue gun safely.
