Review on 🌳 Efficient Drip-less Wood Glue Dispenser, 16 Oz Bottle by Daniel King

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I can't contain my less than complete satisfaction with this product

I usually want something to take a while before I review it. I've only had this bottle of glue for a relatively short time, but it's great. The cap is easy to remove but does not allow the glue to harden in the nozzle. The lid of my previous glue bottle was difficult to open and often clogged with glue the next time I used it. With the squeeze pear you can apply exactly as much glue as you need for your work. The lid is large, which makes refilling much easier than glue bottles that have a spout built into the lid. I don't know how long it will last, but at this price point and with no hassles, it doesn't really bother me. Update: I've had this bottle of glue for a little under a year now (about 10 months actually) and I feel I should have followed my policy of not leaving product reviews until I've had them for a while. I gave this bottle 5 stars too quickly and now have to downgrade it to 3 stars. The idea is great, but the implementation of this idea is not very good. Shortly after reviewing this item I found that if the tip was cut to the smallest hole it soon became clogged with glue so I cut it to the second smallest hole. It seems to have worked and I found this to be a minor downside. Now I've noticed that the glue inside the bottle has partially set and won't come out. Some investigation revealed that the gasket in the lid was incorrectly installed. It must have happened the last time I filled it. Further examination revealed that the seal consisted of two washers, one of which appeared to be made of cardboard and the other of some rubber-like material. Both are very thin, and it's not surprising that they didn't get stuck. Taking glue out of the bottle every time, I have to carefully check the tightness of the cap every time I fill it. I wasn't too concerned about the durability of this product initially as I thought it was relatively cheap. However, I expected it to last over a year. Now I see the price is up almost 30% from what I paid for it, so durability is more important. My apologies to everyone who purchased this product based on my previous premature review.
