MSC (800) 645-7270.  or at www.mscdirect.com
They have the best customer service I have encountered anywhere.   They will
also send you a 25lb catalog just for asking that features just about
anything a machinist would ever want.   Lots of metalworking stuff.   The
hot melt is sold by the pound.  They have it in 5,10,25 and up increments.
