FastCap Glu-Bot Glue Bottle (16 Ounces)

by Fastcap

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Glu-Bot from FastCap is the ideal dispensing bottle for most types of glues or solvents. This glue bottle feeds from the bottom, so you never have a problem with the the surface "skinning" over and clogging the tip. When you are done applying the glue line and release pressure on the bottle, the resulting suction action finishes off your glue line with no drips or mess. The 16-ounce size is great for the woodworker and hobbyist alike. Comes packed with one Yorker- and one Blade-style tip.

Product Description

The Glu-Bot is the only glue bottle that will not drip or spill. The Glu-Bot will put the glue where you want it... and only where you want it. The easy-squeeze bottle features a unique two-chamber design that pulls the glue back after squeezing to eliminate dripping. This same design allows the Glu-Bot to be the first glue bottle to make vertical application easy and without drips. Glue level remains high even when the bottle is running low. Comes packed with one Yorker- and one Blade-style tip.

Picked this up at a trade show and my husband loves it. He has been a woodworker for many years (cabinetry, furniture) and is skeptical about "reinventing the wheel" but this glue bottle has been a huge hit. He can turn the bottle to any angle and apply the glue....no mess....the tip stays dry as the glue does get sucked back into the tip . Well worth a test drive.

I must have made some 20 tabletops by now, and one thing I have learned: Gluing is serious business that can seriously impact on the quality of the finished piece. So when gluing planks together, I cut a glue joint using a perfect edge guide (Eurekazone), get the best wood glue (type III Franklin) and whip out the Glu-Bot.

What's the big deal about the Glu-Bot? Fast, even dispensing. You have to get that glue down and spread as fast as possible, and clamped in place. I like to have 4-5 planks glued and clamped 20 minutes from starting the job. If you have glue setting up before clamping, it will keep your joints from being tight. The Glu-Bot is essential to getting an even coat down, fast.

Another advantage over the bottle your glue came in: this thing works at all angles. Sometimes you need to put things on an edge or even upside down, and it's a lot easier to turn your bottle than your piece.

You might also consider the brush you will need to spread the glue. One thing to get the glue down, quite another to spread it quickly. A 1" paint brush works pretty well.

Another good thing: replaceable lid, replaceable spout, replaceable cap. Yes, they do wear out, or get lost. Nice that you don't have to buy a whole new bottle. I would suggest you buy the inexpensive spares with your original purchase.

This bottle cleans up pretty easily. Sometimes the top lid gets stuck, but I've always managed to pry mine off, occasionally using a pipe wrench. It's one tough bottle! Have had it for years, and wouldn't glue without it.

In a word "WOW!!!!" Everything it promises to be. I am a specialty trim guy and I've been regularly frustrated by my glue bottles. This one does not frustrate me. I bought three at once and I'm glad I did - it works and makes my job so much easier. I can actually glue something rather that fiddling with the glue bottle trying to get glue out of it.
