I have four elevator bolts and I think I have glued them to the roof five times each. I believe I am approaching the point of diminishing returns, but feel the dents are much less obvious now. I have been using Gorilla Glue sticks, which Wal-Mart only had available in minis, and I gave up on Wal-Mart's mini glue gun and started cutting off an inch of glue stick, melting the end, positioning it on the roof, and melting the rest with my heat ray, but I think I have been overdoing it, needing to hold the elevator bolts for the full minute it takes the glue to harden seems excessive.

I have used this on a friend's fender, my fender, a barbeque lid, and various other parts of my two Hondas. The glue keeps releasing from the bolts and staying on the roof. If I wanted to pull the same spot again I remeltedit. You are not supposed to do that, but I am having difficulty removing it.

Unfortunately, one of my last pulls popped off the roof, but stayed on the bolt.

It has a small flake of paint.

Right now I am going to worry about removing the hot glue and working on other projects. Normally the glue just peels off and sometimes I need to use a plastic scraper. People argue whether you should use acetone, censured alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol to remove hot glue. I had a spay bottle with one of those, but I am not sure where it is, or if it evaporated.
