I think I'd be inclined to use something a bit less permanent than hot melt glue, just in case you have to rewire the thing at some point..

In making spreaders for Loops I've found a great answer. Those Afro hair
combs - you know with the long tines -about 8 of them with a flat handle. $2
shop stuff. Cut the tines (carefully) with pliers to about 1 inch. Screw the
handle to your loop arm, wire it up and then hotmelt glue the wire to the
spreader. Taught forever. The spacing of the tines makes the wire spacing
about 3/8th of an inch - ideal I have read.
