Perhaps you guys will know what I'm talking about. đ
I've been watching some paper crafting YouTubes recently, and keep seeing bottles of glue with a super fine tip, that looks like it might be metal. They use for attaching large pieces of paper as well as teeny tiny pieces. I can't see any brand names, and have looked about at Michael's and JoAnne's, but I'm not seeing anything like it.
Any clues for me?

I think it's the bearly art glue as well with the precision tip.
This is my favorite glue now, works especially well with spellbinder dies especially when gluing together tiny diecuts or really intricate designs.
The adhesive is strong and holds up well. And the tip doesn't clog up easily. If it does clog up, it's easy to unclog.

A few also use Gina K connect glue with a fine tip bottle. Gina K sells both on her site.

Thank you. It's that precision tip I really want. Those tiny pieces can get mighty messy fast.

I will also chime in that Bearly Art glue is great value and the thin metal tip is very easy to use. I had some tiny bottles with thin precision tips but they were very hard to squeeze, tired my hands out. BA glue is a little thinner than others Iâve used so that helps too. It also doesnât get sticky if it squidges out, which is a dealbreaker for me.

I use an old Tulip puffy paint bottle. It's got a very fine nozzle tip and, my favourite feature, it stores standing up so I never have to try and shake down the glue before use. If the tip gets dry an unbent paperclip sets things right in a couple seconds. I've been tempted by the metal precision bottles but I prefer a very thick Tacky Glue and I doubt it'd squeeze out well.
If I need even more precision, then the toothpick and puddle of glue is the way to go.

If you have a 'pokey tool' - and who doesn't if you die cut? - that also makes a great glue applicator. Just make sure to clean off the dried glue when you're done.

I bought several of the metal top caps from Scraperfect.com so I could add them to my favorite adhesive bottles. They work beautifully. |

I LOVE the Art Glitter glue! I don't think I will ever go back to using any other liquid glue. (it does not have glitter)

They work beautifully Youâre the only other person Iâve seen other than me whoâs purchased those caps from Scraperfect. A few other shops carry them too. A nerdy trick for my Ranger Multi Medium Matte bottle never clogging with that cap is to wet the âneedleâ piece with a bit of stamp cleaner, and then when putting the cap back on the bottle, moving the cap up and down a few times. I use some drips of old Bruno Monroe stamp cleanerâpink that he may not sell now and that I donât use on stamps. I just unscrew the top of the stamp cleaner bottle and using the straw thatâs wet from being in the bottle, tap the needle with the straw. Clear as mud. |
