Does anyone use
 

The small tips that you can buy for the Elmers glue bottles? I have seen them in tutorials and they seem to do a good job on bindings. If you use one do you like it and where did you get it? Is it plastic or is it metal? Thank you for any information you may offer.

I have the metal ones that were sold on Sharon Schamber website a long time ago. The glue is hard to squeeze out of the tiny nozzle for me. I use Roxanne's basting glue a lot so when I had an empty bottle I filled it with Elmers. The smaller bottle was easier to manage for bindings and it has a great nozzle.

Try searching for Roxanne's glue-baste-it on line. I'm not sure who sells it but it comes with a long metal tip and a spare. I always keep a cap on it and rinse the cap out with water after use so the little metal tube doesn't get plugged up.

I use the Elmers school glue. I found a package of 6 tips in 3 different sizes at walmart. They are made by Plaid Enterprises to use with craft acrylic paints. They work great. If you don't find them at walmart try Michaels or Joanns.

I bought mine a couple of years ago at michaels in the paint dept.

Someone told me to look at a beauty supply store.

Elmers makes a double tip bottle that has a small tip and a wide tip, I bought it at Walmart and found if I pull the wide tip out I can refill it from my larger bottle.

Thank you all. I will try all these revenues and hopefully will find a good one. As luck HAS it I just returned from Wal-Mart. I need to work on getting my ducks in a row. Maybe tomorrow I can stop again when I am in town. Thank you one and all.

Connecting Threads has it.

I found these through this group. I'm using one and really like it. http://www.purpledaisiesllc.com/Sear...&Submit=Search

This lady sells a bottle and tips for glue I saw her at the Road to CA show. Can't remember prices though.

I bought mine from Michaels, the last time I was in America they come in a packet of three

Sharon Schamber's daughter runs an online quilt shop. I bought these plastic tips recently at a show:

and they work well for me. I do need to remove and soak them after each use; there's no way to cap them.

I made mine out of mechanical pencil !!!

I thought it was a pain to clean the metal tip...I found some long narrow tipped bottles at Joann's (near the Xacto knives of all places). There were 3 in a package and it wasn't very expensive. I just refill from the Elmer's bottle.

I'm intrigued. Can you explain further? :)

I was given the hint try cake decoration areas.

I bought some at Hobby Lobby and they fit on acrylic paint bottles which are small. There were six tips, plastic. I have used them and they work great. I bought a bottle of white paint for 69 cents and put it in a different bottle and use the paint bottle (washed out) for the glue. You do have to put the original cap back on the bottle when you're through and rinse out the top or the glue will dry out. I also found at Hobby Lobby 3 nozzles and a bottle but that was more expensive than buying 6 and a bottle of paint. I also have a metal nozzle that came on some fabric glue but to use the washable school glue I would need to water the glue down for it to come out of such a fine nozzle.

And the board comes up with great answers/solutions once again!

My tip is metal, came with 2 sizes of tips but can't remember where I bought it. I clean the tip out after every session as the glue dries hard.

I take cap off or pour a little at a time on a paper plate and use a wooden bamboo skewer to apply.

I found some 4 oz bottles with a luer lock bottle cap that takes different sizes of syringe needles. It was advertised for gun oil. Works great with glue tho. I can't remember if I found them on amazon or ebay. The needle that came with mine was a 16 gauge with a blunt tip about 2 inches long.

here is a ebay link. this one says for ink but looks the same as mine

Funny, but I always had my tip stop up, even though I ran a broom straw through it and rinsed it thoroughly every time!

I think it was Annie's that sells bottle glue, comes with two needle points. One about an inch long and the other about 2 inches long. Just be sure to wash all the glue from the needle points after use. Once clean I also inserted a long straight pin in the needle and tape all parts to the bottle so I don't have to look for anything when it's time to use it.

Check ebay for henna bottles and tips. You can buy the tips is several sizes.

This was on one of the latest Cheryl Phillips Youtube vids. I remember seeing it too but I've got the new plastic tips from Sharon Schamber and they work well. Got them mid last year.

I found some plastic bottles with great tips at an art supply store.

If you can find it, Elmer's also makes a glue pen. They make one with the school glue and another with 'other' glue. I found mine at Walmart and I look every time I go there (which isn't often) but never see them anymore.

I found that if I store my elmer's glue bottle up side down, that it never dries out or clogs. I have a small ceramic cup that I keep it in right next to my sewing machine. Works like a charm. I believe that this works because the glue stays in the tip and no air can get to it. Worth a try. It works for me.

Check out these places for glue tips: woodworkers and modelers need them all the time and you can get them by the dozen at a VERY reasonable price. Rockler.com, MicroMark.com. They have loads of other tools also that easily cross hobby boundries.

I found these at Annie's Attic

The last time I was at Joann I found a small plastic bottle in the quilting aisle. I think it was Clover brand. It worked great for me and was only $2!
