THANK YOU for posting this! Just yesterday I was thinking about this kit (and need it for a project), but wasn’t sure what it was called. This is perfect!
Common garden variety hot glue guns recommend never pulling the glue stick out the back. A better option would be simply cut your coloured down to a length appropriate for the size of knot and then chase the coloured stick through the gun with a stick of cheaper rod in a clear plain colour, which could also be shortened so as to clear out the front quickly when going back to a coloured stick.
Turns out there's a better option. The kit actually comes with a cartridge saver...I stupidly thought this was just a little apparatus to hold spare sticks in, but it is actually a rubber/silicone mold that you can inject the unused filler into and it takes the shape of a new filler rod that can be reused at a later stage...I didn't realise this until the seller of the product reached out to me to explain :) No more waste from now on.

No problem!
Been wondering if that thing was as good as it looked. The time saving alone vs resin would pay for the kit in a single project.
Yep definitely a time saver.
