Default DIY .38 shotshells

Watched a video of a guy making these. He sharpened the open end of a cartridge and used it to cut out powder wads from a Tyvek scrap. For the shot wad he sliced off a bit of a large hot glue stick, put it in his press and squooshed it down and then trimmed off the excess.
I liked the process up to the glue stick finish which looked very tedious. Got me to thinking why not just put a blob of hothot glue in the end? I calc'd my hot glue gun at 195 degrees.
Any risk of setting off the powder at that temp? Dumb (hold my beer) idea? Thanks!
