I am an artist making things that require custom tinted hot melt glue sticks. I can sucessfully tint the melted glue, but I am having a hard time "remoulding" the tinted, melted glue. The glue that I am melting is a special ,extra sticky glue for wood. I have a process that works but is very long and involved

I am trying to remake a glue stick, now tinted, for use in a standard vari-temp glue gun. The glue stick is 7/16 inch diameter. Touching it with your hands is not a options: it is hot and very sticky. I am also concerned about mould relaeases degrading the adhision of the glue.

Extrude it. Basicly you have to make a glue gun that puts out a 7/16" bead of glue. All you have to have is a cyclider to put the tinted glue into and keep it hot. A "plunger" to push to glue out. And last you need an apprx. 7/16" hole to push the glue out of. Make it small enough to handle and keep your batches small. Maybe try extruding your glue over wax paper so it does not stick. Cut your glue strips into glue sticks. Good Luck.

use one of those little tubs that the chicken mcnugget sauce comes in
or just tell a porcupine to do it
a giant porcupine
they know
and they can help
just ask
or tell them
sometimes blind brute force describes things very well

why not just utilize the glue to the best of your ability and then buy more when you run out? cuz I imagine melted hot glue that has dried won't be as good if you use it over - if you can scrape it off whereever you can anyway

Are you trying to remold it into the original stick shape? Trying to figure out a release for using molds? Shape it with your hands and sculpting tools?
For sculpting I would use a heat gun to spot heat it where I was working at that moment. Without knowing what it is you are tring to do, it's a little difficult to say.

Hot Melt manufacturer from the USA can give the best answer, just contact with their representative and get a better solution in my opinion.
Hope it will work for you.

Taking that this should be a comic book tale- that is the proper opporunity to do DIY including your penis, per chance you need to upload more effective 'timber' to it... per chance rather sausage will be rather tremendous in that kebab... Did you eventually end up NAILING the table at the same time as your penis were given stuck?
