I have found them at Michaels in the stained glass/glass painting section.
Plan B is the make-it-yourself plan. The plastic screw-on applicator part for the glue bottle is easy to find at Michaels/JoAnns/etc. and the metal tip is nothing more than the metal tip of a mechanical pencil. The metal mechanical pencil tip will screw right on to the plastic applicator. Viola - a fine tip for a bottle of glue.

Also, don't be fooled into purchasing the Glue Baste It glue.
Great tip on the glue bottle.....you pay dearly for the glue and glue refil. It is water based Elmer's glue. Just keep filling that bottle with the Elmer's.

I use Aleene's but should change over to and Elmer's type as it washes out. And thanks for the tip on the pencil end! 'Course yesterday I glued/basted a whole super-queen binding on! I have a 5 pack that I never use!
The Joann's near me couldn't find them anywhere, so of course I've ordered some, then I read this!
Anyone want to buy new metal tips, still in the package?
Enjoy the day!

i also learned the sharon way..it is not for everyone..it is an extra step..

My JoAnn's and Michales did not have the tips in any department. Each store will carry different items.
