    Is Hot Glue flammable LOL

    I know, as stupid as it sounds, I need to know if Hot Glue would be flammable. Planning on 'sealing' the soldered points of a switch I installed on the 12V trigger line to the Opus... don't wwant to leave the solder points exposed just like that, I think hot gluing would be a good idea...

    it doesnt stick very well, especially when the tempratures change. I saw something called "liquid electrical tape" at walmart which might work better.

    Right now all my relays are covered in hot glue to keep the contacts appart although. Not sure about flamability.

    I recently started using liquid electrical tape, and find it to be a great method to cover open contacts.

    Hot glue is fine - very commonly used, in fact.
