Product Description
The Glu-Bot from FastCap is the ideal dispensing bottle for most types of glues or solvents. This glue bottle feeds from the bottom, so you never have a problem with the the surface "skinning" over and clogging the tip. When you are done applying the glue line and release pressure on the bottle, the resulting suction action finishes off your glue line with no drips or mess. The 16-ounce size is great for the woodworker and hobbyist alike. Comes packed with one Yorker- and one Blade-style tip.

 Best bulk glue dispenser on the market November 17, 2008
Robert Ellsworth (Edmond, OK)
In my shop I use a lot of Titebond yellow glue, which I buy in gallon bottles. The 16 ounce Glu-Bot Glue Bottle is an all-position dispenser; there is no necessity to tilt or invert the tip. Because the glue is discharged from the smaller diameter parallel cylinder, it will not dry out in the dispenser (even when you forget to replace the red cap) because of its smaller exposed surface area. The bottle comes with two different dispenser tips. The most practical is the flat tip, the opening size of which is determined by how far back you cut off the tip's end. The other tip has a tapered needle point for more precise applications. The bottle has a large mouth filler cap, which is a must when refilling from a gallon bottle. Fortunately, each piece of the Glu-Bot can be ordered separately. Glu-Bot also makes a smaller "mini" version of this dispenser, which works equally well. There is nothing negative about this product!

This product is not any better than the bottle that the wood glue comes in in the first place. It has the same slotted cap so what's special about that? It does keep glue fresh, so does the original bottle if you close the cap. It clogs up big time if you don't maintain it a bit, so does the original bottle. It's not just the nozzel that you have to maintain. That delivery canal on the side feeds from the bottom. Wood glue is thick. I threw mine away after it got to where I needed a grip like the Incredible Hulk to get the glue out.

I really like this glue applicator as it eliminates the mess while always maintaining the glue supply when upright. There is even an adapter to attach a standard glue roller tip, but no one seems to carry it???? The Glu-Bot is a handy addition to any shop.
The best glu bottle I have ever used and only use these now! November 1, 2007

Awesome! I have many of these and like the little ones too for edge gluing the fine edges on some of my work.

I must have made some 20 tabletops by now, and one thing I have learned: Gluing is serious business that can seriously impact on the quality of the finished piece. So when gluing planks together, I cut a glue joint using a perfect edge guide (Eurekazone), get the best wood glue (type III Franklin) and whip out the Glu-Bot.
What's the big deal about the Glu-Bot? Fast, even dispensing. You have to get that glue down and spread as fast as possible, and clamped in place. I like to have 4-5 planks glued and clamped 20 minutes from starting the job. If you have glue setting up before clamping, it will keep your joints from being tight. The Glu-Bot is essential to getting an even coat down, fast.
Another advantage over the bottle your glue came in: this thing works at all angles. Sometimes you need to put things on an edge or even upside down, and it's a lot easier to turn your bottle than your piece.
You might also consider the brush you will need to spread the glue. One thing to get the glue down, quite another to spread it quickly. A 1" paint brush works pretty well.
Another good thing: replaceable lid, replaceable spout, replaceable cap. Yes, they do wear out, or get lost. Nice that you don't have to buy a whole new bottle. I would suggest you buy the inexpensive spares with your original purchase.
This bottle cleans up pretty easily. Sometimes the top lid gets stuck, but I've always managed to pry mine off, occasionally using a pipe wrench. It's one tough bottle! Have had it for years, and wouldn't glue without it.
