Bert,
	I'm using Stanley  (pn) GS500BK "Hot Melt Glue Sticks" They
are a light yellow in color and the box advertises "Super Strength".  

I have about 2.5 gallons of Diala-X that has been stained yellow and
feels thicker than normal.  The hot glue that I used to seal the top
cap to my caps has softened to the point of smearing with finger
pressure. (I used epoxy for the bottom joint, but wanted a removable
seal for the top)
