The glue sticks are cheap. You can pick them up 30 of them at most stores like Walmart, or on Amazon for $5.00 or less. I used maybe 3 sticks while making the sword I talk about below.
I actually got this glue gun on Amazon for $9 and I really like i because it has a small tip, an on/off switch and it came with 30 sticks (https://www.amazon.com/ccbetter-Upgraded-Removable-Anti-hot-Flexible/dp/B01178RVI2/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_60_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=8C7YNR2TC2S6CP1WJ8C2)

I finished my 2nd attempt at pepp'ing a world of warcraft sword (http://www.papercraftsquare.com/a-full-size-world-of-warcraft-sword-papercraft-free-template-download.html) only this time I used hot glue instead of just plain white glue and it went much better, especially the difficult joints like where the hilt meets the sword.
I think it was similar to what you are facing where the hilt is. I would put just a drop or 2 of glue on the tab then stick it to the matching end. The glue dries in only a few seconds so it bonded well. Like I mentioned before, when I messed it up, I would put the tip of the glue gun on the joint to melt the glue the try again.

Hope this helps. If you have more questions, I am happy to help.
Another great place to ask pep questions are therpf.com. I am building a complete stormtrooper armor and this site has been an awesome resource for me.
I used a sun visor from Amazon when I made a Sabine helmet for my daughter's Halloween costume. I think the sheen had a nice effect.
