Tips used for elmers glue
#11
I think you need the 4 oz bottle. As for the tips, just take the end off of a .5 or .9 mechanical pencil. I removed the orange "cover" from the bottle, and screwed on the pencil tip and it works great. Also, I do thin the glue just a bit with water. Still works the same but comes out much easier.

I couldn't find them anywhere, so I bought a small bottle of Alene's Tacky Glue at Hancock Fabrics, emptied it out, made sure it was clean, then filled it with Elmer's. I used a pin to make the hole in the top.

I found mine at Michael's. Sorry, I don't have the package to show you. I keep checking at my Joann's, but never find them. I'm sure they don't carry all of the same items in every store. I've seen them on ebay too, but Michael's was the best deal. Found them in the acrylic paint aisle.

These are the ones that I found, they are sold with the little bottles of acrylic paint. The whole package was $4. There are 2 plastic tips and the 3 metal ones screw on the top of the plastic ones. The plastic tips fit on any size bottle of Elmers glue :D:D:D
I have one of each on the glue bottle in the picture. The metal tips screw on firmly and are easier to clean than the long narrow tips that were on the bottle of basting glue that are sold in quilt shops. A sewing pin cleans them out very nicely :wink:
The two largest metal tips work well for glue basting, the smallest one is really too small IMHO

A picture says a thousands words :D:D:D
These tend to sell out quickly, there are so many other uses for them besides painting LOL
I tried to get the part number in there too :wink: for online shoppers.
Michaels carry these too, and other hobby stores that sell these paints.
