I've never had much success with hot-melt glue 
There are two things which annoy me about it ...
1. It tends to produce stringy tails when I withdraw the gun after applying a dollop
2. The setting of the glue is reversable, so that if the bonded objects become hot again some time in the future, the glue re-melts
Point number 1 might be me using cheap glue-sticks, or not getting the temperature right. Point number 2 might actually be an advantage in some rare cases, but I doubt it. I've found POR, araldite and CA+kicker enough to cover all scenarios.
