I see no reason why not.........but to be sure, maybe you coud elaborate a little on what you are thinking about using and doing?? What kind of glue most importantly.

I would think it would be ok but sure would not hold up long.

Hot glue is not very elastic and does not holdup well with normal shrinking or expansion of materials during temperature changes.

So, like what was suggested just above, it depends on what you are gluing...

Good luck
