        Every glue gun I have ever seen leaves hair like strands. Just brush them away.

          I have four hot glue guns and lots of different kinds of glue and this happens every time.  It helps if you rotate the gun as you are drawing the gun up and away.

              Sounds like the sticks may be old stock, or have you bought them from a cheap supply.
