12mm Glue Gun for Upholstery & Furniture Work

The Rapid EG212 is suitable for selected hot melt applications around furniture and upholstery workshops.

Typical uses can include:

• Lightweight furniture trim
• Decorative components
• Sample boards
• Display work
• Card and fibreboard assembly
• Packaging
• Templates
• Lightweight workshop repairs
• General assembly tasks

For compatible adhesive, use 12mm Hot Melt Glue Sticks.

Hot Melt Glue Gun for Furniture Trim

Hot melt adhesive provides a rapid initial set as the molten glue cools.

This can make the EG212 useful for attaching suitable lightweight trim and positioning compatible furniture components.

• Profiles & Edge Rolls
• Workroom Supplies

Always check that the trim and substrate can tolerate hot adhesive before full application.

Glue Gun for Cardboard & Fibreboard

The Rapid EG212 is also useful for suitable Cardboard & Fibreboard work.

Applications can include:

• Upholstery templates
• Sample boards
• Lightweight panel assembly
• Display boards
• Packaging components
• Workshop jigs

Hot melt begins setting quickly as it cools, allowing compatible components to be positioned without the extended drying time associated with many liquid adhesives.

Hot Melt Glue Gun for Packaging

Hot melt adhesive can also be useful for selected packaging and dispatch applications.

Browse Protective Covers & Packaging for products used to protect furniture during storage, handling and delivery.

The EG212 is particularly suitable where only controlled amounts of adhesive are required rather than continuous high-volume application.

Soft-Grip Trigger for Controlled Glue Application

The Rapid EG212 features a soft-grip trigger designed to provide comfortable and controlled adhesive delivery.

Controlled application helps reduce:

• Excess adhesive
• Glue squeeze-out
• Hard adhesive lumps
• Raised glue ridges
• Unnecessary adhesive use

Apply only the amount required for the materials being bonded.

Adjustable Glue Gun Stand

The adjustable stand helps support the glue gun between applications.

Always place a heated applicator on a stable, heat-resistant work surface and keep the nozzle away from fabric, foam, cables and finished furniture surfaces.

The silicone nozzle protection provides additional protection around the heated nozzle area but does not remove the risk of burns from hot components or molten adhesive.

Rapid EG212 Glue Output

The EG212 provides approximately 250g/hour adhesive output, making it suitable for smaller and medium-scale hot melt jobs where controlled application is more important than very high glue volume.

For more demanding or repetitive production work requiring greater adhesive output, consider the Tec 805 Professional Hot Melt Glue Gun.

Rapid EG212 or AM-Tech Cordless Glue Gun?

The Rapid EG212 is a corded hot melt glue gun made for compatible 12mm glue sticks.

The AM-Tech S1845 Cordless Glue Gun provides temporary cord-free operation around furniture but is made for 11mm glue sticks.

Choose the applicator according to the required glue-stick diameter, working position, output and frequency of use.

Hot Melt Glue or Fabric Glue?

Hot melt and liquid fabric adhesive suit different applications.

Use the Rapid EG212 where:

• Fast initial setting is useful
• The materials tolerate hot adhesive
• Controlled bead application is required
• A relatively small quantity of adhesive is needed

For compatible textiles where a liquid adhesive and longer working time are more appropriate, use 1 Litre Fabric Glue.

Hot Melt Glue or PVA Wood Glue?

Hot melt is suitable for selected trim, positioning and light assembly work.

For suitable timber joints, furniture frames, dowels, rails and blocks, use PVA Wood Glue.

Furniture-frame construction may also require appropriate Furniture Fixings & Brackets in addition to adhesive.

Take Care Around Foam, Vinyl & Synthetic Fabrics

Molten hot melt adhesive can damage heat-sensitive upholstery materials.

Use particular care around:

• Upholstery foam
• Vinyl
• Faux leather
• Synthetic fabrics
• Thin textiles
• Coated materials
• Painted surfaces
• Finished timber

For broad-area bonding upholstery foam, use a suitable Upholstery Spray Adhesive rather than hot melt adhesive.

Hot Melt Glue Gun Safety

Hot melt adhesive and the heated nozzle can cause burns.

When using the Rapid EG212:

• Keep fingers away from the nozzle
• Do not touch molten adhesive
• Use the stand between applications
• Keep fabric and foam clear of the hot nozzle
• Keep the cable away from heated components
• Do not leave the powered tool unattended
• Allow the gun to cool before storage
• Follow the manufacturer's operating instructions
• Keep away from children

12mm Glue Stick Compatibility

The Rapid EG212 is made for 12mm hot melt glue sticks.

Status Fabrics' 1kg Bundle of 12mm Hot Melt Glue Sticks provides approximately 34 clear sticks measuring around 300mm long for compatible 12mm glue guns.

Always use the correct glue-stick diameter and ensure the adhesive formulation is suitable for the materials being bonded.
