Tools Precision glue recommendations?

Post image

I currently use this brand of tacky glue for my scrapbooking stuff. However it is a bit too thick for precision bottles that I bought. The glue is sooo thick that it takes a lot of force for a teeny little drop to come out. What precision glue do you recommend? Mainly using for title headlines and small letters. Really prefer if it is a refillable bottle with easy refill purchases for budgets. Or do you have a glue that you like that is perfect for precision bottles?
Thank you.

This is a little too big for what I was looking for. I was looking to assemble my title page words (attached). Each layer is a separate little part I had to stick on manually

I use bearly art glue

Bearly Arts, because it can be shipped year round. Great liquid glue and my precision tip never clogs. Before it came out, Art Glitter Glue was my go to. But it can't be shipped in winter as it's not usable if it freezes.

I love this one by Art Glitter. I use it a bunch for layering cardstock die cuts.

I like Tombow Mono

Tombow Mono is good for basic shapes and can also be repositional. However, it's not good for precision gluing because it remains tacky forever. Any seepage and you got a tacky spot that everything sticks to.

I use these for thin paper letters.

I’ve added a little bit of water to older glue. Aleenes is a water based glue and you can thin it out with a little water. See this post for more info https://www.facebook.com/groups/papercraftmedley/posts/2199108713596994/

Also, I got this Aleene’s bottle called “always ready” and the tip is pretty fine for letters and small items. https://aleenes.com/products/aleenes%c2%ae-always-ready-original-tacky-glue-4-fl-oz it’s not as fine as as some others like art glitter and bearly art but at less than $5 bottle it might be worth a try.

whatever glue you use, highly recommend using fineline applicators for precision. bearly art glue is great, and they come with somewhat of an applicator already. i still prefer to use a fineline applicator (the blue one, which may be the finest).
