Maybe old news to some of you, but new to me. I'm assembling a bunch of small drawers with 1/4 inch box joints. Bought some of these to try for applying glue in the fingers and they worked like magic. They appear to be foam covered with a synthetic gauze that is flexible, but holds its shape, and doesn't shed at all. The foam makes a bit of a reservoir that holds more glue than you would think. I'm going to look for some larger ones too, for larger project glue ups....

That is a brilliant idea.

that's a good idea. We have some cotton swabs at work that work great for applications like this, but I imagine they are shockingly expensive.

Nice! Will definitely be picking up a pack. Maybe in a couple different head shape styles.

Buck cheaper on eBay (LINK (http://www.ebay.com/itm/291025638777)) if you dont mind waiting for shipping from China.

Those would be great for putting glue into Domino mortices too.

OK....I just ordered them as they are better than Q-tips.

Hmmn, do you think SWMBO would buy that as excuse?....I got these great new glue spreaders and now I need a Domino so I can use them.... I guess most of my excuses have been about that lame.....
