A glue gun exploded in my hand

[Gabi14]

When I was making my metal beetle I needed to glue the wings to the main frame of the body. As I was putting a new glue stick in the gun it exploded leaving a burn on my hand. A different glue gun did the same thing the next day.

I'd been around glue guns all my life, since my mum used to make flower arrangements. I think glue guns have it in for me.

Wow, sounds pretty weird!  Just curious, how bad were the burns?
