I had a little cut-n-glue job in the woodshop this
morning . . . and had to fill a new dispenser bottle
with my favorite wood glue.
I occurred to me that builders here on the List might
be interested in the following:
I've found it useful to have lots of small glue bottles
around as opposed to one big one. Further, the bottles
used by Elmer's have a handy, narrow tip for precision
dispensing. The tip is liquid tight when closed.
Every fall before school starts, Walmart has a row
of bargain bins stocked with pencil paks, tablets,
etc. One bin will contain a bucket load of Elmer's
School Glue in these 4 oz bottles. I've paid as
little as $.25 for a bottle of glue.

You can rinse these out and refill with more
sophisticated products like glues, lubricants,
solvents, etc. The labels can be removed to
get a 'clean' bottle but it's pretty labor
intensive. Most of my 'recycled' bottles still
carry the original labels with a new tape-
label wrapped around and re-identified with a
Sharpie.
Unfortunately, the beginning of the next school
year is some time off . . . but perhaps this
note to the List will surface in the gray-matter
the next time you walk past a row of those pre-
school bargain bins. Snatch up a half dozen
or so . . .
