Hot Glue Bottles These have been very popular since I offered them for sale to hobbyists and rebuilders. They are useful for lots of things but I had them specially made for use in my hot glue pot...without the liner and with no water in the pot. I make up hot glue and pour it up into these bottles. I fill about a dozen at a time and keep them in my refrigerator til I need them in the glue pot. I use three at one time as they fit in the glue pot very well. No futzing with water or dry glue flakes. If you made the glue the right consistency the glue bottles keep it right where you made. It does not get thicker with time and it does not need more water unless you decide it needs to be thinner for something like covering striker pneumatics.
I have just bought a new box of glue bottles. I ran out recently. I use them for everything besides hot glue, too: Hot water (for keeping felt wedges wet while removing bushings), carpenters glue, pin tightener, methanol (shellac thinner/remover, keytop glue, acetone voicing fluid, hammer softener, special hot glue with whiting for ivories, shellac for sealing purposes (squirting through pouch channels), burned shellac for same. I am amazed at how many uses I have for those bottles I got for hot glue only.
I used or sold over 300 within about 4 years. They went way up since last time I bought them. They are translucent so you can see the glue inside. They come with an extra spout or two. The spouts are sealed so you can drill them out for a small hole or cut them off for a large hole. Don't use them without reading the tech page on hide glue. (Squeeze, THEN tip) For more information on how to use these visit our technical tips page and look for hide glue. I
must offer this batch in lots of 7 for $10.00
