I have an arduino board but the jumper pins are seperate from the board itself.
Q: How should I attach this? solder? glue?
I dont want to make a mess and have the solder drops touch each other pins.

Standard Soldering techniques should be used. If you need, get some prototype/vero/strip board and practice first. As @ignacio has mentioned, the solder mask will help as long as you don't glob on the solder. Most importantly, use flux and you'll be fine.
I have seen technicians remove hot glue by swabbing the area with rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is also known as isopropyl alcohol. This doesn't really dissolve the hot glue, but causes it to come loose from the board and wire. In future, instead of covering the solder with hot glue, consider if you can apply the hot glue away from the solder area. The main purpose of it is to provide strain relief. It doesn't have to be right on top of the rework area.
