Seconded. I picked up a pretty inexpensive small hot glue gun at Michael's for my Tetris Magnets. It seems to work well.gamerwolff wrote:Ive used all of these glues before, minus the superglue on stitch...but it is great for perlers....anyway I use hot glue to place magnets. You have to buy the glue gun which you normally plug into the wall , and then you purchase the sticks for the gun. you plug in the gun, put a stick in and let it heat for a minute and then you have liquid glue, and then you let it set for a min or two and voila, magnets! I will say this though....some thin heatproof gloves are an excellent investment...can't tell you how many times I've burnt myself. Plus not the best option if you have small children around...if you do i would go with fabric tac....its almost like hotglue without the heat.

Re: Cross Stitch Magnets
Well...you can also order a hot glue gun online also...and you could probably find them at hardware stores too. Here is a good website if you really want one:
