Glue Applicators

[mewell]

Stumbled into a nifty "tool" for applying glue... Wooden coffee stirrers! LOML needed some 'things' to help apply cake icing and we bought a box of 1,000 of the things from a local restaurant supply. They are 5 1/2" long and 5mm wide (like a long skinny popsicle stick) so the fit even in a 7mm hole. I've used them to apply epoxy and Sumo glues with great results!

I don't remember how much we paid but I think around $5-$6 sounds right.

One other thing we've done with cooking type 'stuff' is picked up a gazillion pack of aluminium foil popup sheets from Costco and we're using them to mix glue on[8D]

I use toothpicks. One box will last years. I don't know how a woodworking/turning shop can exist without toothpicks.

Mark I got mine on sale at Ace Hardware for $1 a box. [] And they come in handy for a number of things, including putting swirls in mixed resin colors.[]

I use bamboo BBQ skewers...works well and reuseable too.

I think my first one/stick lasted me more than a year [][]

I am with Frank and use toothpicks. Also the toothpick is useful if you have a stipped out screw hole. Put a little yellow glue on the end on the toothpick and put it into the hole and you have a fast fix.

My local market has a large sushi area....hate raw fish but take the free chop sticks. They are great working with CA.
