To make your own fine tip glue bottles: Buy 1 bottle of Elmer's WASHABLE school glue and 1 disposable click pencil with a long narrow tip. Take the Elmer's glue bottle and pop the orange top off. Then take a scissors and snip off the white guts that protrude up from the bottle. Then snip a small amount off the top of the orange cap...( a little less than 1/4"). Screw the bottom tip off the pencil and shove it up through the orange cap creating a nice fine tip to the glue bottle. Screw this cap onto the glue bottle and you're ready to go. I put a pin in it when not in use. I use this for binding...esp. bias binding. Works wonderful for putting in zippers too. Apply a fine line of glue and heat set with your iron...doesn't even need pins. And the best part is that it washes out...
