 by tsbrownie - Buying glue is cheaper in big bottles, but it's not convenient to use that way. So you can pour it into the usual bottles, but they have a tiny opening and it's slow and messy to fill them. Plus they have a small opening out, and can not usually be closed 1 handed. Finally, when the glue runs low, you have to tip and wait or shake the glue down to the opening. Here's one way around all that.

This is a good DIY tip and I would make one if I didn't already own a Glue Bot which serves me well for the same purpose.
If you can't make it precise make it adjustable.

I have a Glue Bot also, but I'm wondering how well a ketchup squeeze bottle (with the sphincter valve) would work for applications where you need to cover a larger area quickly. In dry climates it's really nice to get the glue spread fast.

Exactly, a catsup bottle is very similar to this. The 1 benefit to this is you can keep it down so the glue is ready to go instantly and you don't have to wait for it to run down.
