I'll Stick With These.

Post by kablerj »

I received two of these for Christmas, one 16 oz and one 4 oz.

After the first use, I knew these would be a permanent part of the shop. The wide top makes them easy to fill, and the design makes them comfortable to hold and easy to control, no drips or mess.

I highly recommend them.

Re: I'll Stick With These. Glu-Bots

Yes, I have the 4 oz and use it for most Tight-bond glue-ups of a small size since they do put glue right where you want it. For OBG on very narrow parts, I use a collapsable device with an almost-needle tip from Woodcraft. Both work very well.

I do advise going to FastCap now and ordering replacement tips and tip covers for the Glu-bots. The extra tips are handy when you want a bigger glue stream and later need a more narrow glue stream. And I keep losing the red tip caps somewhere on the cluttered floor. I know, I know, you are supposed to put them on the top of the Glu-bot, but being of a certain age I forget that.
