    Hello all.
    I have a Parkside glue gun from Lidl. Everything was OK on the original glue. Then I bought 11mm glue in the construction shop and unfortunately, but the gun is warm but does not give glue. This plastic slides on a stick of glue but as if the gun did not melt it. Only when I give him a lot of help I spit out the glue but you have to use a lot of strength. Is it the fault of the glue? Does a good gun have to be a special adhesive? The one from Lidla is very expensive compared to the others available in stores.

    In the specification it is written that the gun after 5 minutes is 150 degrees. Low-temperature probably around 70

    Well, I have to look for such glue, but I see that it is hard for such glue and if it is a really high price compared to normal

    I've found it too. I guess everything indicates that it will be through this glue. I will buy as soon as possible and see and share information

    I would like to respond, but I'm not very much on the way to castorama so I have not bought this glue yet

    And how did you get to Castorama? How it goes with glue?

    I had the same problem with this Parside 500d2 pistol. It helped change the size of the glue on fi12 and not as the producer writes 11. Strange but the feeder better gives the glue a tad larger.

    I don't know how to start a new thread but my gun dies and won't load. Do you know what the problem is?

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around issues experienced with a Parkside glue gun purchased from Lidl, specifically regarding the compatibility of non-brand glue sticks. The user initially had success with the original glue but encountered problems when switching to 11mm glue from a construction shop, which did not melt properly, leading to difficulty in dispensing. Responses suggest that the glue gun may be designed for low-temperature glue, while the purchased glue is likely high-temperature, necessitating a search for compatible glue. One user noted that switching to a larger glue size (12mm instead of 11mm) resolved similar issues with their Parkside model. The conversation also includes inquiries about the user's experience with purchasing the correct glue and troubleshooting other potential problems with the glue gun.

FAQ

TL;DR: Typical hot glue runs at 150–200°C; “hot glues have a temperature range of 150–200°C.” If your Parkside/Lidl gun heats but won’t feed, check stick temperature grade and diameter (11 vs 12 mm). [Elektroda, 3048296, post #16819176]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps Parkside/Lidl glue-gun owners fix poor flow, choose compatible sticks, and avoid jams or weak bonds.

Quick Facts

Why does my Parkside glue gun heat up but not dispense glue?

Mismatched sticks cause most no‑flow issues. Off‑brand 11 mm sticks can slip or melt poorly, so the feeder can’t push molten glue through. Switch to sticks that match both the temperature grade and a snug diameter, then retest. [Elektroda, chris, post #16819117]

Is the Parkside gun considered low‑temp or hot‑melt?

In‑thread specs say about 150°C after five minutes. That sits within standard hot‑melt territory, not true low‑temperature operation. Expect performance consistent with typical hot‑melt sticks labeled for about 150–200°C. [Elektroda, chris, post #16819134]

What glue stick diameter works best in Parkside (e.g., PLG 500 D2)?

One owner fixed poor feeding by using 12 mm sticks instead of the nominal 11 mm. The slightly larger diameter let the drive mechanism grip and push consistently. Consider testing a 12 mm pack if 11 mm slips. [Elektroda, Carassius, post #17836504]

Can I use non‑brand (construction store) glue sticks?

Yes, if they fit and melt at the gun’s range. The original Lidl sticks worked, but a generic 11 mm caused heat‑up with no flow. Match diameter and temperature rating to avoid jams. [Elektroda, chris, post #16819117]

Should I try low‑temperature glue sticks for compatibility?

A participant suggested trying a low‑temperature option (Rapid) to see if melting improves. If you test this, monitor bond strength and flow. Revert if adhesion is poor. [Elektroda, 3048296, post #16819200]

How long should I wait for the Parkside gun to fully heat?

Plan for roughly five minutes to reach about 150°C before feeding sticks. Premature squeezing reduces flow and can glaze the feeder on under‑melted glue. [Elektroda, chris, post #16819134]

My gun “dies” and won’t load—what should I check first?

Check stick fit and feeder grip. A user restored feeding by using 12 mm sticks, which the mechanism grabbed more reliably than 11 mm. Try a fresh 12 mm stick and re‑test. [Elektroda, Carassius, post #17836504]

Why are Lidl’s OEM sticks pricier—are they necessary?

The OEM sticks worked reliably in the thread, while a cheaper 11 mm off‑brand did not feed or melt well. Cost aside, choose sticks that match the gun in size and melt range for fewer issues. [Elektroda, chris, post #16819117]

How do I fix feeding issues fast? (3‑step)

  1. Load a 12 mm stick to improve drive grip.
  2. Let the gun preheat fully before squeezing.
  3. Keep steady pressure; don’t force the trigger. [Elektroda, Carassius, post #17836504]

What does “low‑temperature glue” actually mean?

Low‑temp sticks melt below standard hot‑melt ranges. By contrast, “hot glues have a temperature range of 150–200°C,” which suits Parkside’s spec. Use low‑temp only if bonds and flow meet your needs. [Elektroda, 3048296, post #16819176]

Will using undersized sticks damage or stall the feeder?

Undersized sticks can slip, causing stalls and intermittent flow. A user eliminated slippage by switching from 11 mm to 12 mm, improving feed force transfer. This is a known edge case to test. [Elektroda, Carassius, post #17836504]

Where can I find the low‑temp sticks mentioned in the thread?

The thread references Rapid low‑temperature sticks, with a retail link shared as an example. Use similar low‑temp products if that brand is unavailable locally. [Elektroda, 3048296, post #16819200]
