Here's a tip suggested by Jeff Roberts (Luke Strawwalker or OL JR) on the Rocketry Forum:"... Grab a few of the regular "school glue" type twist-cap nozzle applicators and install them on all your wood and white glue bottles, even the TMTG.
They make the glue MUCH easier to apply with precision than the flat "blade" cap-n-slit style nozzle applicators they put on wood glue and TMTG.
The glue is thicker than school glue and takes a little more effort to squeeze out, but you can get SO much better control of how much glue you apply and where ... works like a champ!
Plus, you just give the nozzle a quick twist to close the bottle, instead of hunting for that little blade type cap that corks the end of the slit nozzle shut.
My wife's a teacher and my 7 year old LOVES doing little crafts and stuff, so I have them save the nozzles off their old school glue bottles.
If you don't have that kind of access, just grab a few bottles of school glue when it's on sale for 25 cents and swap the nozzle/applicators out with the ones that come on the wood glue/TMTG.
Later and good luck!"

In the picture, the wide Titebond Molding & Trim Glue nozzle is on the left.
On the right is the T M&TG bottle with an Elmer's style nozzle attached.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the link BigRIJoe,
ReplyDeleteI've got an old MicroMark Catalog, but haven't ordered from them in a few years. That applicator looks promising.
Absolutely the truth in this posting. I have switched the same point nosetip from white school glue to bottle after bottle of Elmer's Yellow Wood Glue model after model. It never fails and reduces waste from drying out, sanding or wiping off while fillets are formed.
