Biscut glue applicator
I have searched a few WW mags and have yet to find the "mushroom slice" applicator tip (without the bottle) that will fit a Titebond glue bottle.
I don't do enough biscut joining to waste my glue by transferring the Titebond to a 'biscut glue bottle'.
Has anyone seen a source for just the appropriate tip and would you share where it can be purchased?
Thanks, Bob

Not to be facetious, but what is so special about this applicator that a simple running bead of glue over the slot (which is "confirmed" when the biscuit is pressed in by squeeze out just as it bottoms out) and/or on the biscuit sides won't do?
Every time you make a typo, the errorists win.

Must agree with the RedShirt.
I've managed to do a "few" biscuits in my time and have not felt the need for a special glue gadget nor have I had any failures to date.
I suppose any gadget which makes things easier is a plus - each to his own I guess.

I'm with Redshirt and Bob. The biscuit is there mainly to position the joint and if there is the right amount of glue on the joint itself it will hold.
