Title: Fine tip applicator replacement tops for glues
Post by: howdyheidi on November 19, 2016, 06:17:49 PM

I am not sure if we have discussed these before.

I would like some of those super fine tip extensions for my glossy accents and maybe some of my other glues.

What are some good choices for this?  Are there any that I can just use on my normal glossy accents bottle and just replace the top?

Thanks!

I use these Fineline 18-gauge applicator bottles (http://a.co/8BAWqpe).  I just checked and no, you can't just replace the cap on a glossy accents bottle (at least not the 2oz bottle).  They make them in an even finer tip, but it was so fine I had a hard time getting the wire back in the tube/tip.  I use this bottle with Scotch quick dry adhesive in it.  I also used this bottle with GemTac in it to adhere tiny Swarovski crystals, and I found the gauge fine enough for me.

Check Jennifer McGuire's blog.  She might be using glue bottles they sell for quilling.  I'm not sure if the lid is interchangeable or if you'll have to transfer your glossy accents to another bottle.

Glossy accents comes in 2 sizes:
  the small .5 fluid ounce which the gray band applicator fits.  http://www.ellenhutson.com/ranger-fine-tip-applicators-0-5-oz/
and the larger 2ounce bottle which the pink band appicator fits.   http://www.ellenhutson.com/ranger-fine-tip-applicators-2-oz/
Ranger was selling these applicators for these bottles but I no longer find it on their website on in their retail store.  Ellen Huston still sells them.

Joggles sells a wide range of fine tip applicators for use with many glue, paint bottles as well as glossy accents. They have a You Tube video demonstrating how to select the proper fine line applicator to fit your bottle.  It also shows various uses of an applicator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h8Xz7AHdQI&t=127s
