    Do you use Elmer's straight from the bottle (or transfer into your homemade bottle), or diluted? I've never used basting glue before and am wondering. And is this better or just more economical than the spray adhesive? Thanks!

    I use the Elmer's school glue straight from the bottle and then iron it before sewing. I think I read the Roxanne's doesn't need to be ironed but I've never used it.

    I just saw a tutorial and I noticed the tip had a metal tubing on the end of it and it seemed to me that it would get into the corners really good .

    Where do you buy haircolor bottles? Or do you have to use the haircolor first? I was going to buy some Roxanne's so I could just use the bottle later but this is better.

    A lot cheaper than the ones I had to have a Michaels. When I got home with the Elmers, I was careful enough that I just use the glue bottle...
