Titebond Glue Tip

Written by Dave Topics:Blog, Dave, Tip

When I’m gluing up a project I’m always grabbing for my 16oz Titebond glue bottle.  It’s lightweight but still holds enough glue for any glue up I’ve ever had.  (I have carpal tunnel so lightweight is always good!)

Also, I’ve noticed when retailers put Titebond on sale it’s usually the 32oz bottle and I’m fine with that.  Why you ask?

Well almost always the tip of my 16oz bottle is glued shut.  It doesn’t matter if I wipe it off, chip at it or even chew the dry glue off of it. It’s ALWAYS stuck.

So what I do is grab a small bowl of hot water and throw the stupid cap (from the 16oz bottle) in it just as I’m about to clue up a project.  From there I grab the cap off my 32oz bottle and screw it onto my 16oz bottle and go to work.  (They’re the same size)

Then after the clue has had a chance to soften up and off the other cap, I dry it off and put it on my 32oz bottle.

Maybe not the easiest  but I can say issue solved.

Thoughts?

    I had to chuckle when I realized I’m not the only one who chews the glue off!
