Default Are hot glue gun stick reef safe?

hey all.
just wondering, I just threw a frag rack together with a cleaner magnet and eggcrate.
I used a hobby heat glue gun to glue it together.
just was thinking about how wise of an idea that was..lol.
does anyone know if that is a reef safe thing to do?
or will the glue leech out?
thanks
Neal

I did the same kind of thing with a couple of racks. Instead of the hot glue I just put a lot of the aquarium silicone a she worked like a charm. And also from what I have heard glue sticks, super glue all those seem to be fine.

Happy new year, Neal.
