Title: Fine-tipped glue applicators
Post by: Thebaz on June 05, 2020, 09:08:21 PM
Pertaining to the above, is there any wisdom with regard to keeping these from blocking up in between uses? It's getting a little tiresome having to repeatedly clip off the end of my Roket glue applicator. Soon there will not be one!

For plastic glue bottles I often stuff some fine wire down the tube before replacing the cap.

That's an idea, but I don't think I have anything that fine at the moment. Will have to have a check.

Also, after use make sure you clear the applicator tube (squeeze bottle and then allow to expand and suck any left over glue back into the bottle), and stand the bottle upright.
