Silly Rockler...

you might want to check out your local discount store (Walmart, Target, etc). They sell silicone basting brushes which appear to be the same. I think they usually run about $5

+1. If you need a brush, these work pretty good. Once you get the loose hairs out of an acid brush, they work good too.

I normally only used brushes for deep mortises, and sometimes larger dowel holes. This Rockler product only looks like it would work for flat surfaces, like panel glue-ups. It looks too big to fit into a 3/8" mortise?

I did a review on my site (which I'll have up in a few minutes with pictures) and commented that they needed some smaller sizes. For that, you're going to stick to your tried and true method.

With the taper of the bristles, it's too wide to use (naturally) in a 3/4" dado. But I love just setting it down somewhere and coming back the next day and picking out the one or two pieces of dried glue and going back at it.

picked up one of these a couple weeks ago...it is pretty good for version 1.0. the best parts: easily cleanable after the glue has dried, no bristles in the joint, and you don't have to buy new one after you're done. like others have said, a smaller version would be nice...for larger glueups, I use a silicone basting brush from the dollar store.

dave -- you're right about the finger being the best applicator. my problem is, i usually wipe the applicator off on my shirt without giving it a second thought...which is not a good thing when you pop in the shop after work for a quick glueup :O

My Rockler has it at $3.99 till the 27th of April guess thats an even better deal

I wonder how well they would work with epoxy.

Check the Dollar store

I see these on the rack all the time.

Didn't think to use them on glue but have used the other ones for BBQ sauce.

Get them cheap there...........
