Default Odd objects to spread glue with

- 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.

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?
