FastenMaster Hot Melt FMFLEX180 Hotmelt Adhesive HB220 Glue Gun

These are not your momma's glue sticks! I use these in conjunction with the Fastenmaster HB220 hot glue gun and they deliver a strong bond with an extended time to get things aligned and just right before the glue hardens. These are a must have for anyone that installs laminate or LVP flooring. Check out a YouTube channel called 'so that's how you do that"... Joe is a true blessing to the trades. I was using the cheap plastic spacers to set the first row in my flooring installs... with really poor results. Joe made a video using the fasten master brand gun and sticks to glue down a piece of flooring that doesn't budge... keeping your rows in perfect alignment.... leading to joints that go together easily with minimal tapping and no hammers. I had no idea a glue gun and a pro level glue stick could have that level of adhesion! If you're int he trades.... these glue sticks and the glue gun would be a great addition to your tool box! I will forever buy this brand!

Bought the while installing LVP flooring throughout home. I had to pause installation several times and used this to attach pieces of the flooring to the Cement subfloor so the planks would remain tightly together and to keep hallway planks perfectly straight as we movrd down the hall and installed each room off of hallway without using a transition. I know that with my husband and 2 dogs walking over the floor during Install that the would have traveled and loosened. I also used them to add decorative base molding to tiled bathroom walls. Looked so much better than caulked corners, especially since we couldn't find grout to match tile color. Was great to use as it gives you extra work time to place them than typical glue sticks and really grips!

This is the strongest hot glue I've used. It holds very well.

Quick, easy good working time.

This hot melt glue works really well when attaching vinyl plank floor scraps to concrete floors. The scraps were used as temporary clamps to hold vinyl plank flooring courses as the courses were being built out to obtain a stable floor. The scraps were then easily removed with no residue using a floor scraper. Strength of the vinyl floor plank scraps to concrete floor joints was very good with no failures.

I'm not sure it works any better than any other glue stick. There does seem to be a little longer working time, but I'm not sure there is any more bonding power.

I had a situation where I have travertine behind my quarter round and vinyl plank flooring below. Underneath my vinyl plank flooring, I had used floor leveler, so I could not drive nails. I bought this and put glue on the backside towards the travertine and after putting in place, and holding it for about 15 seconds and held rock solid. Really a great option and I was surprised how well it held onto the travertine.There is a guy who does videos on vinyl plank flooring, “this is how you do that“ and he recommended this glue as he is a contractor for vinyl plank flooring.

I actually don't know the effectiveness or longevity of this glue. My biggest put off was people and manufacturer saying it needs a HIGH efficiency heat gun to work. So i was thinking industrial strength heat gun. Well it worked just fine in my 18v RYOBI cordless heat gun. I have not tried it in it's smaller cousin, that uses the same size of glue sticks, but smaller.
