Introduction: Tree Sap Glue for a Glue Gun

About: I'm16 and in my free time I control cockroaches, weld, make canoes from duct tape, 3D print, make helmets, light big pieces of wood on fire, and other awesome stuff

have you ever been stuck without glue sticks?

this will show you how to make tree sap glue sticks!

Step 1: Things You Need

  1. a pine tree (i used an austrian pine)
  2. a glue stick(to push stuff out of a length of pipe)
  3. a piece of pipe (about as big as the glue stick)
  4. a glue gun
  5. OPTIONAL: gloves

Step 2: Get Some Tree Sap!

find a tree that has some sap coming off of it and just grab a chunk (make sure to leave enough for the tree to heal)

the tree that i got my sap from had holes from a wood pecker and was just covered in sap

Step 3: Heat It Up and Squish It in to the Pipe

using hot water or a microwave heat it up until it is plyable and squish it into the pipe

Step 4: Cool It Down!

using water or a freezer cool the pipe with the sap in it for a few minutes

Step 5: Push It Out

using the glue stick push the sap out of the pipe

Step 6: Use It!

put it in your glue gun and use it!

NOTE: depending on how hard the sap is you may have to push it with a regular glue stick
