My friend says you can put a modchuip without solder but with a glue gun. Is this true???

I say it won't work.
The hot glue helps to keep the wires in place when they are soldered.

Solder is the only way... :)

Glue gun is no good, because it's not glue (glue wouldn't be good either ^__^), but sillicon.

Sillicon and glue can't lead electricity, so it can be use only to keep wires from hanging to the board.

This gave me a little chuckle this morning, thanks guys now I have something to think about today when the day is going rough I will just think about using hot glue to make my solder joints and laugh a little and that will pick me right up.
