Nozzles for 3M Hot-Melt Glue Guns
Use L-tips to close full-overlap cartons.
T-tips dispense two lines of glue to close slotted cartons.
Tips are not compatible with model AE II or AE II LT glue guns.
3M Hot-Melt Glue Gun Repair Parts
Swap out worn or broken parts for your 3M hot-melt glue gun.
Electric/Air-Powered 3M Hot-Melt Glue Guns
For use in high-volume production applications, these guns use electric heat to melt the adhesive and compressed air to keep it flowing. Load up to three glue sticks at once. The gun includes one tip; additional tips are sold separately. Use only with 3M glue sticks.

Hot-Melt Glue Sticks
When heated, these glue sticks melt and quickly begin to harden. Use them to seal packaging and form other low- to medium-strength bonds. 3M glue sticks work only with 3M glue guns.
Adhesives that take longer to harden are suited for applications that require some repositioning, because the longer open times allow for more adjustment. For high-volume applications, adhesives with a lower viscosity flow faster than other hot-melt adhesives.
3750LM is FDA compliant 21 CFR 175.105 for use in food packaging.
3762 is a high-tack adhesive; it bonds quickly with light pressure.
3789 joins hard-to-bond plastics and resists fuel and oil.
LM denotes low-temperature formulations. These work well on delicate or heat-sensitive materials.
