As a repair person, I cringe at some of the posts here. But them again, I would be embarrassed to show a pro some of my home repairs, and this project could be a great education. I would avoid a hair dryer. There are hot air devices for padding, but I've never seen or heard of a hair dryer being used to "float" a pad. It is important to direct the heat so it heats the pad cup only and doesn't heat up the clarinet body. This would be hard with a hair dryer. I use an alcohol lamp and an electrical resistance heater (a split tip soldering gun with the end of the tip cut off).
Some hot glues are less stringy than others. And there is a little learning involved to using them. You could cut off a bit of glue and stick it in the pad cup so it melts when you heat the pad cup.
Synthetic pads are sensitive to heat. You will probably trash a few of them. Leather will be more resistant to excess heat.
Hot melt glues have a longer "open time" - the amount of time the glue (and pad can be shifted before the glue sets. This influences how you will have to work.
Enough for now.
