How long does it take for a hot glue gun to dry?

The drying time for a hot glue gun can vary depending on several factors, such as the type and thickness of the glue, the ambient temperature, and the amount of glue applied. Generally, hot glue dries and sets within a few minutes, but it may take up to 24 hours for it to fully cure and achieve its maximum strength. It is recommended to avoid touching or moving the glued object until it has completely cooled and hardened.
