However, I would like to find a harder type of glue that allows you to make a more permanent repair. Seems like the standard a bit soft, so it gets messed up if you remove the grips. A hard type of hot glue would be perfect to use in revolver grips where the holes have been wallered out. I usually use epoxy for this, but hot glue would be way quicker and less messy.
I agree, standard hot glue is pretty soft. I was lucky enough to pick up my wife's "high temp" glue gun when I did this fix, not only is the tip smaller, but it uses "mini glue", which appears to have a higher melting point (190C vs. 120C) and holds up better (and I'm thinking it must be harder when it cools).
