Arduino hot glue question
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. )

Re: Arduino hot glue question
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.

Re: Arduino hot glue question
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!
