Glue Bottle Nozzle Switch TIP





These small "Goes On Purple, Dries Clear" Elmer's glue bottles were on sale at a local office supply store. I didn't buy them for the color changing glue.
A large bottle of yellow Carpenter's Glue could last me for a few years. The nozzle tips don't last that long and can be replaced.

On the left is the larger, flat nozzle found on a Carpenter's Wood Glue bottle. You can use this nozzle to build a rocket but you won't have much control over the glue flow.

The pointed nozzles from a smaller white glue bottle (school or the purple glue) will fit the threads on the Carpenter's Yellow Glue bottle.

This idea has been covered on the blog before, but it's been while. New readers could find this helpful.

  1. I wish you could just buy replacement caps. I can't seem to find them online.

    1. Hi Daniel,
      Best time to buy them is when office supply stores start their back to school sales. Sometimes you can find very small bottles of Elmer's glue for 25 cents each. All he cap/nozzles are one size and fit the larger bottles.
