Carpenter's Life Changes

These silicone glue applicators will change the carpenter's life. People are probably wondering what all the hype is about when it comes to these things. Well, if you'd glued wood together on a regular basis, you'd know. There are surprisingly few ways to apply wood glue. I think using acid brushes is the most common method. Although acid brushes have long been used for this purpose. They've never been a great solution for applying wood glue to things like rabbits, dados, dovetails, dowel holes, mortise locks, box joints and so on. Just because the little bristles on acid brushes always seem to come loose and get stuck in the glue on your work and you're trying to get them out of the glue. Also, the acid brush can only be used once and must be thrown away as it cannot be cleaned. But with these silicone brushes. The same brush can be used over and over again. Wet wood glue can be easily rinsed off the bush with water, or you can simply leave the brush overnight until the glue is completely dry and remove the wet glue from the brush the next day. I prefer the latter as it's easy and the adhesive tends to come off in one fell swoop. The best thing about these brushes is that they leave no bristles on the wood. The same goes for the applicator cup and dispenser. Rockler hit the mark with this set. So if you haven't, folks. Ditch those acid brushes and rollers and get this kit. You will not regret it. Like someone who glues wood every day. These silicone brushes changed my life.
