I’ve a love–hate relationship with glue bottles. I want shopping for glue in small bottles, however I’ve by no means been thrilled with the bottles that include small quantities of glue. Not too long ago, I attempted Rockler’s 12-oz. Glue Bottle Buddy ($9, rockler.com), and whereas no glue bottle goes to alter your life, this one is clearly properly thought out.
With its extensive mouth, filling the bottle couldn’t be simpler. The stopper matches snugly on the nozzle— with out being tough to take away—and the molded holder features a devoted spot to park the cap, so all the things stays collectively on the bench.
What actually stood out, although, was the extent of management. Making use of an inexpensive quantity of glue precisely into mortises is normally a bit hit-or-miss, however with this bottle, I may place glue precisely the place I wished and dispense solely as a lot as I wanted. That type of precision was actually somewhat shocking.
In case you’re choosy about glue bottles—and I’m—the Glue Bottle Buddy is a brilliant, sensible improve that does a easy job exceptionally properly.
