Here at Chemical Concepts, we spend a lot of time talking and learning about adhesives. What about the application methods? Dispensing guns are the quickest and easiest method of applying adhesives. But there are so many different sizes and styles of dispensing guns available on the market; how do you know which one is right for your project?

When choosing the right dispense gun it must meet the various needs and address the specifications of the materials used in a project.
