Why do you want to fill from the chamber so much? Its really not worth the hassle of finding a perfect spring that doesn't hinder performance. It may even have to come to your piston needing O-rings so your chamber isn't filled faster then the piston seals so the piston is pushed back. Or in JSR's words
"if you're using a spring make sure you're filling at a slower rate than the equalisation flow"

That gun is filled from the rear which is called the 'pilot'.

I dont know if that is really a good idea. Personally, i would just buy another hot glue gun. Get a mini, they cost like 5 bucks.

Do you realy need to be spoon fed that much??

seriously this is ridiculous! can you not figure out on your own to put the glue sticks in the microwave melt them take them out and pour it in a mold?

I wouldn't.

To make a decent piston you need the glue liquid when you pour it. The gun only heats it to the melting point. You really need over that so it can flow.
