Gotta love reusable glue spreaders.

Hmmm – looks like a cross between a lollipop and a passifier. Very interesting. Don’t have a Woodcraft anywhere near me but next time I place an order there, I just might get some and try them out.

Interesting, thanks

You could also just save a worn out foam brush and remove the foam. Underneath it, you will find something that looks just like this thing.

I’ve been using the brushes from a single package of shop brushes for the last 20 years. Clean em after every use and each one lasts a very long time.

Thanks for posting your review. I’ve seen those things but wasn’t sure how they would work.

Steve, interesting suggestion, I’m going to see what is under a worn out foam brush, never thought to look.

For awhile I was getting these great free glue spreaders from American Express. I agree that the internal plastic thing in the foam brushes work well.

I use the acid brushes from Harbor Freight for small glue ups. They are always on sale foe $1.99 for a bag of 36. I rinse them off with water after each use and re use them. For larger glue ups I use one of several sizes of UHMW scraps. Works grreat and nothing sticks. Best of all…the scrap pieces are free.

Looks cool but I don’t know why they would put that ring around it just behind the head. Looks like that would restrict access and make it more cumbersome to use. I use the brushes and always forget to clean them before the glue dries. I always forget about it while fine tuning the clamps. Gonna try the foam brush trick. That sounds great.

I don’t throw anything away that can be used. I make my glue spreaders from scrap wood, flat, brush, notched, make them all. Then they can be thrown out.

The ring holds it up off a table top when you lay it down. They have 2 flats to prevent the spreader from rolling also
