I have always ordered the hotmelt from 3R while I was getting the heads.

Tim.......I have been using just regular Hotmelt Glue from Home Depot for Years....just don't get the Craft Stuff...get the stuff from a Hardware store...It will stay Pliable...you don't want it to get hard and Brittle like some of the dark yellow Melt on Glues....they will shatter upon hard impacts and you will lose your Points

I agree with El Destructo.  I use regular hotmelt.  I have had nothing but trouble with the amber glue getting brittle and losing points.
