Step 5Start glueing!
I am sorry if I am disappointing parts of the audience, but I did not have any unfinished gingersnap house at hand when I made this Instructable. Here, two swedish "skorpa" have been joined.
Use a lot of sugar glue. Sugar is good for you, at least around X-mas.
Don't expect the same gluing experience as with normal melt glue. Sugar has not been tailored to for melt gluing and the melt glue gun has not been designed to melt sugar. I was lucky it worked ok.
One thing I haven't tried that maybe should be avoided, is what happens if the melt gun is left turned on for, say, 20 minutes without any glue, eh, sugar, consumtion. Ordinary melt glue most probably just continues to be melt glue, whereas sugar caramellises, perhaps turning into something we do not want inside the melt glue gun. Or worse yet, something that catches fire.
