Take the glue gun casing off. You might find it has 'tamperproof' screws; while you could make your own screwdriver bit (as in Make Vol. 3), I just took the easy option and drilled the screws out. Make sure the glue gun's not plugged in if you do this, as the mains cable may be wrapped close by the screw bosses.

Inside the gun you'll find quite a lot of stuff, much of which is the trigger mechanism. We don't need this, so it can be taken out and put aside, along with the case itself. Don't throw the case away, as it may be useful later on.
