So a friend that showed me how to attach the tip of the rod on, gave me this little stick of hot glue. I lost it or loaned it, and went by the local hardware store to pick up some. All they had was glue gun glue. It says that it works at high temperatures, is this the same stuff?
On the package it says All Temperature Mini Glue Sticks, made by Master Mechanic. The stuff I used before was an amber color, this is white .... Mark
