Can you use Hot Glue on "pool noodles"?

I am trying to make something with pool noodles. I am splitting some of them and opening them up. I am trying to make a "tree hide" for our Corn Snake. She has out grown the one she has and we cannot find anything bigger in the stores. So this DIYer is making the snake, "Sweet Pea" a new home!
Tape is NOT working. And I have to keep it all safe for her!
Any suggestions?

Experiment. Try it !
I wouldn’t see why not. But, there’s always Fabri-Tac! Cheap and seals/bonds well.
Yes, it will melt the noodle a little, but I've had great success with it holding.
Susan..l believe it will work!
Am trying to make a rainbow what glue can I use
I’ve using gorilla glue to do the lolly pops with pool noodles and it’s a bust. I did three and held each roll 45 seconds before moving on with the project. Complete waste of my time and money!
Low-temp hot glue can work, but yes, there may be some melting. E6000 is good for crafts, but for stronger options you could use a more powerful adhesive like polyurethane glue or construction adhesive,

Hi Susan, yes you can use hot glue on pool noodles, just know that the foam will melt easily so use a low temperature. Should work well and non toxic.
