Arduino hot glue question

Post by Arduino_Rules »

Can I use hot glue with Arduino components, and then take it off again, or is it permanent? ( for example, to attach a homemade wheel to a motor. ) :?: :?: :?

Hi - yes, it's generally safe to use hot glue with electronic components. If you use a lot it may be messy or more difficult to peel off, but it's not going to hurt anything.

Hello! Another helpful tip for having electrical components is electrical tape. This doesn't pose any danger to the electronic components and is very strong. Good luck!
