I just purchased this glue gun. I have not been able to get it to work for the first time. Did anyone else have an issue with getting it started?

No problem here. I used Adhesive Technologies 220-11ZIP24 Multi Temp Full Size Glue, 10-Inch, 24-Pack glue sticks. Just put one it, let it heat up on the high setting for several minutes, then it melted and extruded the glue just fine. I did find warming it up on high, then turning down to low worked better when using it on the low setting

That is the only troubleshooting tip the directions give - turn off and then on again. Okay, I did that, hoping against hope. I did it many, many times, but it never did anything. If Hasbro won't repair our unit, I guess S'mores is off to the glue factory.

It works just fine for me. I followed the instructions exactly and use the wand that comes with it. I don't have a trick really, I'm sorry. If you can get it to work, it worked really well. We only do 1-2 pieces of candy at a time as well

Im having the same problem and according to the reviews on this site...We are not alone. Ive tried saturating the heck out of um .. to a fine mist and no mater what they just dont seem to stick very well. Looks to me like it needs more work. There was some mention about placing it under a book to flatten the design? I dont know... to be honest the instructions that came with this thing, In my opinion were very lacking. If my 6 yr old son didnt just "HAVE TO HAVE IT!" I wouldnt have gone with this toy and I wont be recommending it to anyone else.

I do not remember having any problems. but I have done a lot of assembling of other items, so either you got a defective part, I got lucky, or it is just practice makes if not perfect, at least easier, but I would suggest calling the manufacturer and get a replacement.

Is that a question? You're looking to spray glue with this gun? I'm not familear with wildwood glue, but any glue would have to be pretty thin and the gun cleaned as soon as you're done spraying. This is just my opinion, I have never sprayed adhesives thru my gun.

I am having an issue getting the gun to re-sync with johnny. It worked just fine the 1st time the kids played but now we can not get it to sync. Anyone else have this issue?

I have not had any problems with the gun. First of all, is it turned up too high where it is actually driving the nail all the way through the wood? You may want to practice on a two by four to test the depth setting. Second of all, and this is probably a stupid question but you do have the correct brad nails in, right? I have not had any problems with mine - it worked wonderfully for me. Sorry, I wasn't any more help.

Mine is still working after months of use but like I said in my review, the only issue is the glue. I had to use scotch tape to help it hold...

I've did try once the Peel & Stick and I was unsatisfied with it. I did use the jigsaw puzzle glue and I was super happy with the results. So, I've never tried the combination together to glue a puzzle.

I am having the same problem, did you find an answer to this??? Oh wait.... got pliers an pulled on it..... now it is working. I thought I was going to break it.

I gave up with glue as I couldn't get the pieces to stick without denting it. Tape worked and made the process go faster and the kids at the party didn't notice. Edit* My response is not for this kit but for the free Minecraft downloads at pixelcraft.com

I would suggest looking online or just buy a new gun since they are so cheap? If you think it may be broke, first try taking it out. My sister thought she broke the needle and it was actually just jammed.

So many people have been complaining about this. It happens too me too. It's really just not made that well. You can glue it in I suppose, but as another person said in my knitting group "If I pay for something I shouldn't have to glue it, hammer it, nail it, together to get it to work properly." I have to agree with that.

My spray didn't work at first either. I just unscrewed the top, and then I put the bottom of the spraying component in a glass of water, and then after attempting to spritz the water it ultimately worked. After that I put it back into the bottle and everything worked fine.

Try pushing down on it, up and down, several times. I think that is how you release the glue.

I had absolutely no problem with mine. Just followed the directions. Could it be defective?
