How about something like this?

There are cheaper analog ones with plastic tabs you can move to set the on/off times.

Alternatively if you have a clapped out old clothes dryer handy, the clockwork timers in those are readily re-purposed - just wind it around to however long you want the glue-gun on for, and it'll tick its way towards off with no fuss at all.
