Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature do Rapid glue guns reach?

Rapid glue guns typically operate between 105°C for low-temperature models (ideal for heat-sensitive materials) and 195°C for high-temperature professional units. Many models offer dual-temperature functionality, giving you flexibility across different applications and materials.

How long does it take a Rapid glue gun to heat up?

Most Rapid glue guns reach operating temperature within 3-5 minutes, with some professional models heating up in as little as 90 seconds. This quick heat-up time helps maintain productivity on busy job sites.

Are Rapid glue sticks compatible with other brands?

Whilst Rapid glue sticks are specifically formulated to work optimally with Rapid guns, standard diameter sticks (typically 12mm for hobby models and 7mm for precision work) are generally interchangeable. However, for best results and warranty compliance, we recommend using genuine Rapid glue sticks.
