Odd objects to spread glue with
Not having a credit card handy (meaning: I'd have to walk from where the
thought struck me, approximately 30 feet into the house), I spotted a wall outlet cover in a misc hardware drawer that looked like a likely candidate for spreading glue on some 4" boards. Poured on the TBII and took a swipe with the cover across the board. Wow! Nice even coverage. gotta love the curved edge of those covers. Try it some time--it's not as weird as it sounds. What "odd" thing have you spread glue with, that worked well? Dave |

The last time I used a thin 2x4" square of cherry, just because it was handy. I have a glue roller (the kind that fit on top of a glue bottle) but don't always use it. I like credit cards for spreading glue, nice and flexible. |

- Hacksaw blades work pretty well. Different TPI and new vs. old will
leave a different thickness of glue. - Serrated edge thing from a Saran Wrap or aluminum foil box. - Gift cards from Barns&Noble. They are nice and stiff just like a credit card and they give them away by the dozens, just don't load them with any $. - Popsicle sticks. - Q-tips. - Pipe cleaners. Art "David" wrote in message ...

All kinds of stuff from the edge of pencils to random scraps of wood that happened to be close, to a scraper that I accidentally grabbed once, thinking it was a credit card. Luckily, the glue wipes off. Probably the weirdest thing I ever used was an old AOL CD when I was trying to spread glue into an odd curve and I found that by turning the CD a bit, it filled the cove quite well. |

I noticed one of the DIY network dames spreading glue with a wood
chisel. I thought that was pretty odd... Being an old house framer and remodeler I am just now discovering glue. Works pretty good! That tells you I am a bit behind in the fine woodwork department. But I am really enjoying learning. Ron T |
