You’re absolutely right pal😂😂. I’ve pinned this message to the top before everyone makes the same observation, and yes I’d been using contact adhesive that day so (pardon the pun) must have been stuck in my mind 🤔😂
Great result Leo. I guess if you’re doing this all the time it’d be worth the dosh. Either way, it’s always nice getting a new tool, especially when it saves you so much time.
It’ll pay for itself in a few jobs Mandy. Anything I earn woodworking wise goes straight back into equipment atm and I think this is a worthwhile investment 😀👍
I have seen Cam using this pal now you mention it. His channel is doing so well now. Been watching it since the early days and it has just gone crazy the last year or so 👍
How tough/hard is the filled knot when its cooled Leo as I couldn’t tell from the video? Hot melt glue gun sticks are always slightly soft even when dried, whereas I guess you want this to be as hard as the wood when set
@@Hand-i-Craft Excellent. I will bear these in mind when I have a similar project. Still on workshop fitting out and garage sorting out, so no jobs with ‘nice’ output yet! Cheers
That’s eactly what I was thinking. Its a neat solution but the gun seems very expensive when you can buy other ‘craft’ guns for £15 or thereabouts. From the website you showed it looks like the filler sticks are 12mm diameter, whereas most glue guns are 7mm or 11mm. It would of course be possible to file/carve the sticks down if they couldn’t be pushed through an 11mm gun. I did like the mould that you can use to empty old glue out into and reform into a new stick when changing colour, that’s one issue I have always had with using coloured glue sticks.
You definately can use a regular gun. The big advantage with he wood repair pro gun is a high wattage gun and heats up very quickly, but it is only a glue gun. The secret is the sticks, not the gun.
Great solution to filling irregular holes and knots. Expensive gun though...I imagine they could profit from making a kit for those of us who already have a hot glue gun.
Do you mean Cyanoacrylate glue? Think you had contact adhesive on the brain

Cool concept
It’s a great piece of kit pal 👍😀
I like it, very neat finish !!!
It does leave a great finish and so simple to do pal, even I can do it 🤔😂

Smart kit Leo!
Thanks Dean, it is a really neat piece of kit and it works a treat 😀😀👍👍
Great as usual pal
Thanks Ricky, as always 😀👍
That's very impressive Leo, you could also use it to cover recessed screws instead of filler or dowels and make that a feature 👍
I’ve done that once Bill and it looks great 😀😀👍👍
It looks like a great result hope it works with paints and stains
Thanks Pat, yes it takes the hard wax oil I use so happy with that 👍👍😀😀
Nice bit of kit and satisfying to use I’d say. Think I’ve seen Cameron on Blacktail use on of these. Cheers 👍🏼

@@Hand-i-Craft was going to make a horrible pun joke too but I wood knot want to be that guy 😃

It’s solid Geoffrey, just been checking it now as I saw your comment before. Sets solid and has taken the wax oil finish as well 👍😀

I guess a lot of people will be wondering if they can use the sticks in their existing glue guns instead of buying the kit, looks good though Leo
Glitter hot glue sticks too!!!!
Good point mate, not sure what the answer is but I’m sure someone will give it a go 👍

The sticks are 12mm gauge and will work on any gun that can reach a stable temp of 170 degrees

Yes, it does have specific temperatures on the gun pal, but hopefully the knot filler is compatible with just a regular glue gun👍👍

A bit expensive for the full kit
Full retail it is mate, but they often have really good sales. That’s when I bought mine 😀👍
