For those of you who use hot glue a lot - do you have issues with its permanency?
Maybe it's just because of where I live (SE Virginia, hot and humid 8 months of the year...), but the few times I've attempted to use my glue gun, within days whatever I've glued together has... Well, come unglued. It just pops right off.
It did it to a wreath I'd fixed and then put up on my kitchen door, and I thought maybe it was because it caught a lot of direct morning sunlight and just got too hot... But a few other projects I had worked on got no sunlight and they still popped off.
Is there a trick to this? Am I using a crappy glue? Or is hot glue just not a good adhesive to use?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
