    Hi all,

    What's your favorite way to transport glue for field work? I buy Titebond Quick & Thick in large bottles and used to transfer it to a mini GluBot. While I love the GluBot in the shop, the cap pops off too easily inside my tool case.

    I'm currently experimenting with travel-sized squeeze bottles, but I'd love to hear what everyone else uses on the road!

    I'm fond of using the mini (1.25oz) Elmer's glue bottles emptied, washed, dried and refilled

    That sounds fantastic, Daniel! I'm looking at a 4 oz Elmer's bottle of my kids' right now-1.25 oz sounds like the exact size I'm looking for.

    Buy a small bottle of Titebond at the hardware store and fill it from the large bottle as needed.
