    What can you use instead of glue?

    In a real pinch, you can use glue sticks and either a soldering iron or a woodburning iron. You could even use a laundry iron, but you’ll never get it to stop smelling like hot glue. If you mean an alternative to hot glue, you could use Duco Cement ; that’s similar but it’s a solvent-based glue instead of a heat-softened glue.
