>> Those who use hot glue, seat pads with hair dryer <<
That's not true. A hair dryer wouldn't work with any of the hot glues or shellacs I use. By the way, almost no shellac sold now is pure shellac and some is completely synthetic (but sometimes called shellac).
I have at least four or five types of shellac that are different and at least as many hot glues that also are different.
Re the glue moving or melting from heat (the sun, etc.), it really depends. I have some shellac that will move from lower heat than some hot glue. Actually there is only one type of glue I have, in sticks, that bends in the summer in its glass. That's why I stopped using it. It is sold as shellac and it's a type of synthetic shellac.
How rigid, brittle, etc. also varies a lot. Some shellac is hard and brittle, but I've never had a pad fall out even after many years. I've seen pads fall and most of the time the glue was something like shellac - hard and brittle - but who knows what it was. I proved to myself there is no issue of pads falling with any of the good shellacs I've tried.
Some hot glues are softer, but they don't move when closing the pads. It can be more springy, so it doesn't change shape at all and it's rigid enough to not have any compromise in reliability.
The synthetic shellac I mentioned, when dry, feels harder than almost any hot glue when dry, but the fact is it is affected by low heat and is less reliable.
As far as the glue affecting the sound, anyone can believe what they prefer or claim they can hear or feel the difference (they might be sure they do actually feel/hear it). However, it was already shown by reliable tests, where this was isolated, that it doesn't make a difference.
So IMO choose a glue that is good and reliable, as opposed to choosing based on many myths...
