A "Find" for Elmer users
 
At Walmart, in the craft section, I found a package of screw on tip tops. The package is called "Fine Tip Tops" made by Plaid. They are made for the craft acrylic paint bottles and there are 3 different opening sizes. And they fit the Elmer's bottles too. .The price was either 4.95 or 5.95 for a package of 6. Just thought I'd pass it along:D

I sure wish I had seen this about a month ago. However, I purchased Sharon Schamber's screw on tip for the Elmer's glue and am VERY happy with them, however the shipping cost was high and I would have gladly settled for a local purchase. That being said, I have the tip on my bottle and I just insert a long flower head pin in the opening when I'm done. It keeps is from gluing shut. I really do recommend her product....just hate the shipping costs.

That pin might rust. Use a plastic price tag tab instead.

The pin in the opening will make an ugly mess.

You are totally right!!! It did rust and I appreciate the suggestion.. I wasn't sure what to use in place of the pin, so I just washed out the top (it had been sitting for about 5 weeks and carried on. Again, thanks!

Bella Boo....the pin was perfect, but I just found out it DID rust. Someone else made a good suggestion which I addressed. Thanks!
