Caution: glue squeeze
Surprise!
Air blasts out first before glue arrival causing the small paper parts to depart. BP |

Put the glue upside down in a some small glass container (doesn't have to be glass but should be heavy) like small jelly jar. Then you can take the lid off when you use it, the glue is always right there and the air will float to the top, I guess technically the bottom of the container.

PVC Use
Howdy,
I normally store glue on a PVC fitting however the cap kept coming off this large Aleens bottle. BP |

I read in one of the posts how someone cleans out his small bottles and fills them from the large economy sized bottle. I imagine my smaller bottle will be ready to receive glue from my big bottle over the weekend. Not quite empty, yet.

I use small bottles of medicine that were to treat pinkeye washed out and dried then refiled with alines tacky glue I use the gray bottle type.. I tend to keep the small bottle filled up to keep air out of the glue. and use a straight pin as a stopper and this only lets out a small amount of glue at a time out.
Enjoy, Miles

Here is my setup for the glue bottle. A styrofoam block used to hold the glue bottle upside down.
There is also a small plastic toothpick used to spread the glue, a wood dowel that is sharpened on one end used to score fold lines, and two fillable watercolor brushes. The styrofoam was hollowed out to accomodate the top of the glue bottle. The bottle is the 4 oz/118 ml size.

I use hypodermic syringes refilled from largish bulk storage bottles. As the plunger is pushed in to dispense the glue, no air gets into the body. A pin pushed into the needle seals it up, but I prefer to use a map pin with a coloured plastic ball end, as it makes it easier to pull out. The needle can be pulled right off for larger amounts of glue, but I mostly find the output through the needle is usually adequate, and much more controllable.
The long needle is also very useful for reaching inside small objects like Johan's birds. I normally use a blunt end needle but I do keep a sharp one handy for the odd occasion that I need to pierce through a layer to get to a tab inside. For some reason, this system doesn't work well with liquid or gel Superglue. Presumably, because too much air gets to it during the transfer to the syringe, so it starts to set. However, I have found some small superglue tubes that have the right size nozzles to push-fit the hypo needle onto.

I just discovered that the nozzle from a standard bottle of Elmer's glue fits perfectly onto an Aleene's tacky glue bottle. Now I have a perfect applicator. And if I give the bottle a squeeze before closing it, I don't have to wait for glue to come out.
