Do any of you have photos of your HHG glue bottles? I use a jar and a brush, but it can be a little slow in applying sometimes. I've been reading about some people using plastic bottles with applicator tips and was hoping to take a look at what else people are using.
I've tried a couple different plastic jars, but they don't hold up in the hot water.
Thanks.

J. I'm bringing some HHG tonight in class. I'll show you what I store it in. The hair coloring plastic bottles that are left over from my wife. I think the plastic ketchup bottles, the ones with the canonical tips on them should work too.

   You can try putting stainless bolts or nuts in the bottle. That will weigh them down and act as heating elements... Thanks for the tip, Mario (g)

Is it better to have 1 oz. or larger bottles? Especially if I've putting a SS bolt inside. 1 oz. seems kind of tiny. Maybe, best to have several sizes for different jobs.

I got a 3 pack of 2oz plastic bottles at an art store. Small tapered tip cut to size with a plastic cap. They were not sold as glue bottles, but as colored sand dispensers!!

Ask a local hairdresser. I have one in the same building as my office and she saves them for me. 4 oz

I use 2oz bottles everyday. It's very rare for me to go through a whole
bottle.

No need for the bolt either.. at least not for my set-up. (bout the glue pot
from Stewmac.
