I bought mine for less than $5 and there are 3 metal tips and two plastic ones to a package. I screw on a plastic one to the glue bottle and then the smaller metal one on that.

(from finch, Oct 30, 10: I decided that I could make my own inexpensive glue basting bottle today.I used a hair coloring bottle with the sharp pointed spout and my hubby inserted one of those basketball inflater needles inside the lid and pushed it as far as possible to the end and then snipped it off below that that little side hole that is on the tubing.You have to tap it with an hammer to get it to the end of the spout,but it works great!)
Think I'm going to try this...
