Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The bottle-tip of an off-the-shelf wood glue is simply too limited to work well with the variety of joints, surfaces, dimensions, and textures woodworkers run across from project to project. Big-Horn's all-in-one kit gives you an arsenal of tips and attachments that will cover just about any situation you can think of, from dowel holes to dovetail surfaces. The kit comes with a roller head for flat surfaces, a flat nozzle for biscuit joinery, a pinpoint head for precision placement, a round head for 1/2-inch dovetails, and five heads for dowel holes of 1/4-, 5/16-, 3/8-, 7/16-, and 1/2-inch-and-larger diameters. The base features a wet well where the glue bottle may be stored upside down so glue is always at the tip, ready to be dispensed.--Josh Dettweiler

5.0 out of 5 stars The Art of Glueing, March 2, 2002

I never really looked at a glueing project as being an art, but this glue set allows you to be a true artist. Just as a painter has to have the right paint brush for a project, this glue set gives you the right glue attachment for the project. And it has made all the difference in the outcome of that project. The right amount of glue is placed exactly where you want it, no drips, very little excess, no spill overs onto the main surface of the board.

Each attachment, easily kept available and stored when you can find it, works with each specific project. Whether it is a dovetail, dado, bisquit spline, pinpoint or just joining two boards together, this set gets the job done.

The wet well works just fine, keeping the glue "wet" and the bottle inverted for easy glue extraction, especially when the bottle is getting low.

I didn't think I really needed this glue set, that there is not an art to glueing, that all those attachments were just extra "fluff". I have learned my lesson, I REALLY enjoy being a glue artist, using the right tool and getting the project completed with NO glue overflow!!

I just used this kit for the first time. I was gluing some melamine sheets with Roo Glue (specially made for melamine) The set up time was 15 minutes, so I had a lot of surface area to cover in short order. This glue kit, using the glue roller did a nice job. It enabled me to cover a lot of surface area quickly. The amount of glue that is released is based on how much you squeeze the container. You can easily see the flow, so guesstimating is pretty easy.
My only dilemma is when doing biscuits and glue edge joinery; it is necessary to switch heads. When you are dealing with glue that is sure to get messy. So my quest is to find a dedicated biscuit joining glue bottle. That way I can use both at the same time without making head changes.
I think this kit is a great idea. It might be all plastic, but is ideally suited for the purpose. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars ...it works great, what more could you ask for, March 7, 2002

This is simple and straight forward. The roller works very well...I will tell you not to let the glue dry on the roller, while it may not stick to the roller it is not easy to get off once it does dry. When you are done take a couple of minutes and rinse off the roller in the sink.

The rest of the attachments are a cool idea but the hassle of changing them out makes them less friendly to use than the standard nozzle on a regular carpenter's glue bottle. I love the roller and use it all the time and that makes this item worth having but I wouldn't get excited about the other attachments if I were you.
