Popular Post gee-dub Posted August 15, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 If you know anyone who has a new baby you need never search for glue cups again. Purveyors of Pureed Peas never knew their contribution to the woodworking community. Also great for testing finish colors. Generally yours for the asking. I almost cannot use them fast enough. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekMPBS Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 I get cups like that from a friend who has a restaurant. They are the sauce cups he uses to serve fry sauce in. They are cheap - he just gave me a stack of 100 for free last time I asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 A friend of mine would grab a stack of the little sauce cups from Waba Grill every time we would get lunch there. He used them as paint cups for scale models. I have a lot of small plastic and glass jars from puréed foods for our daughter, but haven’t seen any that same shape/size.

I must confess that I have rationalized to myself that since I take my coffee black, it is OK for me to grab a batch of wooden stirrer sticks whenever I go to a coffee shop.

Coop Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Gee-dubb, so you dip your brush instead of applying the glue straight from the bottle and brushing it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the activity. For long seams like you find in panel glue-ups I run a bead straight out of the bottle and spread it with a stir-stick or one of those little plastic paddles Lee Valley sells in packs of 6. I think I have a lifetime supply; I have been using the first one out of the bag for years . For large areas I squirt from the bottle and spread with a roller or a notched credit card. For things like small parts (like trim) joining into or onto assemblies, finger joints, dovetails, short mitered surfaces (frames), mortise work, etc. I find it much less messy to deliver the glue from a cup than directly from the bottle even though my "bottles" are generally Glu-Bots . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Thanks. I read this thread after doing box joints on two drawers and wish I had read it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
