Cant remove nozzle tip from nozzle base on aleenes ultimate heated glue gun, even while hot

Bought several months ago at michaels and have never attempted to change nozzle till today. After thoroughly heating the unit, the tip and base will not separate and only turn together as one piece.

    On the front bottom there's a stand that you need to left up over the nozzle base for stability.This will keep it from turning.Hope this help in best crafting.

Here is a great blog on how to change a glue gun nozzle. But big things to remember, preheat the gun, use gloves or a wrench and be careful! If you don't preheat your glue gun, you are likely to strip the nozzle and then be unable to use it again and may even break the gun. Hope this helps!

    Hi Dustin...I did find this tutorial, however, the Tec 805-12 has a rubber shroud to deal with which is not the same as the one in the above tutorial. This shroud completely covers the nut and is installed differently,

SOURCE: linoleum has curled up beside bathtub

There probably is a reason that it curled and I would guess it is because of moisture getting behind the linoleum. If the linoluem wasn't sealed properly where it meets the tub, that could be the reason. I would use a good grade of construction adhesive (Lowe's, Home Depot....) BUT clean and dry the area you are going to bond to VERY carefully. Remove any old debris or glue. BE CAREFUL if you use a heat gun. It will melt cheap linoleum in a second. Try a hair dryer first and be patient....Once you have it glued (followig the mfg. instructions on the tube), lay something(s) HEAVY on the linoleum and let dry overnight. THEN run a bead of grout and tile sealant along the edge. Good Luck.

SOURCE: I have a glue gun

How I was trying to push hard glue out of my glue gun with a new pencil but then the eraser got stuck and I didn't realize so then I pushed it in again and the metal part came out and now I don't know what...

Sometimes the rubber nozzle removes easily and once removed the metal nozzle behind the rubber can be unscrewed with a wrench or pliers.
With the nozzle removed and the glue gun is hot it should be possible to push the eraser and the metal ferrule back through the heated tube of the glue gun.

If the nozzle can't be removed it poses some difficulty as a rod or stiff wire will be needed that will go through the hole in the nozzle to push back the eraser. It will probably be a fiddly job and it might not be possible to push the eraser right out but if it can be moved back a little it could be possible to hook it out with the same wire after bending it so there is a small hook on the end.

You made an honest mistake and your parents shouldn't be angry.

If you find you can't remove the eraser; if you have a car repair shop nearby, I am sure you will find help there. Once hot a quick blast of compressed air through the nozzle should clear everything from the heated tube.
Good luck!

Idea as to cost of this and how it works please

The cost of a glue gun varies between $5-$20 for a good one.
The glue gun works based on heat, in the front of the glue gun there is a heating element, once you install the glue cartridge and press the trigger the glue cartridge is pressed thru the heated element who melts the glue forcing it thru the front nozzle

Is there a seal between the nozzle and the tip? I have glue leaking out everywhere??

No, no seal. The heating element is just a heated tube with the nozzle simply threaded into its end. The heating element in your glue gun may be cracked. Or... possibly... you (or someone in your household) got it hot and laid it down and left it that way for a LONG time, and the melted glue backed up inside the heating element. A glue gun should never be laid on its side while hot but idle, especially for long periods of time.

How does a glue gun work?

A hot glue gun is a very useful tool for joining modelling materials and even more substantial materials can be fixed together with it. 'Sticks' of solid glue are pushed into the back of the gun, the trigger is pressed pushing the glue stick forward and molten glue comes out of the nozzle. The glue is manufactured from thermoplastics.

Dear Experts, I need assistance from you ppl.I stay in India. I bought a medium quality glue gun and a glue stick. I plugged the gun to the power socket(220v)and waited for the glue to come out of the...

It takes a couple of minutes for the gun to heat up. When you first plug it in, touch the metal nozzle with your hand. It should become obviously hot within 15 seconds and too hot to touch within a minute . After it fully heats up (a couple of minutes), squeezing the trigger should advance the glue stick and push molten glue out of the nozzle. However, there is often an initial resistance to the trigger and you may have to squeeze a bit hard to get it started. If there is a problem with the trigger mechanism, you can also advance the glue by pushing directly on the back end of the glue stick with your thumb. Good luck.

Heat Guns Safety tips

Although safer than using a naked-flame blowlamp, care is still required when using a heat gun. Specific point are: * Because of the power of these tools (up to 2000W), when an extension lead is necessary, only use a lead rated at 10 amp or greater and always completely unwind the lead. * Never obstruct or cover the air inlet grills. If the air flow is reduced the heat gun will overheat and possible catch fire. * Never operate the heat gun with the outlet nozzle hard up against a surface, this will reduce the air and can have the same effect as obstructing the air inlet grills, * Do not use a heat gun near inflammable materials. * Always switch the tool off before putting it down on any surface. * Allow the tool to cool before storing it. * Do not place the nozzle next to anything whilst it is hot. * Never touch the hot metal nozzle with clothing or skin. * Do not use for stripping lead-based paints. * Do not allow any paint to stick to the nozzle - and if some paint does stick, allow the gun to cool down and remove the paint. * Do not look down the nozzle while the gun is turned on. * Do not insert anything down the nozzle with the gun.
