Holder For Glue Bottles
Jun 01, 2016
When I reach for my glue bottle, I don’t like having to shake it and wait for the glue to drip down to the tip. So I keep the bottles inverted and ready for fast use in this simple stand, made from a few pieces of scrap with a couple of feet. I cut the stepped holes with Forstner bits to fit the tops of the bottles and keep them steady. To prevent dripping glue from accumulating inside the holes, I drill the lower holes all the way through.

That's why I love Glu Bot bottles!
what about the glue dripping out through the holes? Seems a messy solution to a minor problem. Why not just lie the glue bottle on it's side? Most large glue bottles have this feature just for this 'problem'. No offense meant, just sayin'.
