Hahahaa there are no silly questions Debbie - please do ask away! When I get enough of the same types of questions, that’s when I decide to make a video. I take time to think about thorough explanations and try to ask more people about their challenges. Thank YOU for letting me know that I was able to help solve your fight with the glue bottles. Please let me know if it worked for you!
Where I live, we don't have any of those glue brands. We have a wooden white glue which dries transparently, but it also comes in plastic jars of 1 pound. Impossible to fill in the smaller bottles directly from it. But the problem is solved with a needless syringe. It makes the transfer extremely easy, without bubbles, without air pockets, without mess. Thank you for the tutorial though :)
so glad I watched your video as I could not fill the small bottles with the fine tip, so the trick of squeezing the bottle did it for me. I am a card maker so my glue of choice is Art glitter glue. Thank you, this video saved me a lot, of frustrration.
That’s wonderful to hear Lynda! I’m happy to know my tutorial helped you in your craft room. Thanks for sharing your glue of choice. I’ve heard good things about that brand and hope o can try it one day. Happy crafting to you!
I always enjoy your very fun and thorough videos. I use glue for quilling and for Cartonnage as well which I just learned recently. I love your teaching style. :)
Ooh! I looked up what cartonnage is - I had no idea there was a name for that! I LOOOOOOOVE that craft too!! Brings out the innate organizer that I enjoy being. Thank you for your wonderful encouragement sewittoday! You made my day! 🥰
I like Elmers “glue all” and Aileens, Alieens is harder to find and more expensive where I live. The “Glue All”does glue almost anything and It tend to use a toothpick for glue application for quilling, I have several small tiny tipped glue bottles, but mine clog with Aileens and are quite messy.... So, I just squeeze a small blob on an old plastic card and then after multi uses,throw the toothpick away, I usually use all or most of glue, then wipe off old card.... no real waste, as I wipe toothpick off between uses, it gets used quite along time until it gets ugly, before. Actually throw it away. Sometimes I just use my metal tiny tipped pokey tool, as well. By the way , I love your tutorials!.... Thank you!
Oh that's too bad Aleene's glue tends to clog up your fine tip nozzle, but I'm happy that Elmer's seems to work just fine. Yes, I've used toothpicks and plastic cards forever too! Thanks so much for your kind words Kathy - it makes a different to me to know I'm able to help! 😀
I love all your tutorials. Thank you so much! I appreciate learning how to leave room between the two bottles for filling. I've used a syringe before, but I think your way is better
Oh my goodness all your tips are always so helpful! I greatly appreciate how you're always comprehensive and I've converted to Aleene's because of you lol 😂Thank you for all your tips Cecelia!😍🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🤯😱😳🤭😲 Of all the bottles of Aileen‘s glue I’ve purchased how is it that I never realized the various notches for pouring??? I would take the cap off, grab my xacto knife and cut the tippy top like you did. You just gave me one of those Oprahs’ “A-ha” moments!😂😆 I used Scotch’s tacky glue for a long time but switched to Aileen’s Turbo Dry tacky. It’s way more economical (Scotchs $6 vs Aileen’s 3 pack for $8) and grabs hold VERY quickly. Also, the tip on squeezing the empty bottle before filling…brilliant!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!❤️THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😘
Heeeheee, so happy to hear your Oprah a-ha moment, Kandie!!! I live for those moments!!! 😂 Yes, I agree Aleene's is much more economical than Scotch. 😍
🙂🙂🙂 sweet. I learnt so much about gluing down paper strips from you and now this is one useful video. I use Elmer's and happy to learn about the nozzle assembly.😃
Suganthi!!! 🥰😍😘 it’s so good to see you! My day job has been drowning me so I don’t have energy to make videos for a while but I have many ideas. Please come back and tell me if the nozzle uncapping works for you. Do you use a fine tip bottle too? What do you like most about Elmer’s?
@@PaperZenCeceliaLouie I cannot do without a fine tip. I most often use locally available white glue. Really I needed this tip on refilling❤️ needless to say Cecelia I am your fan❤️
Great explanations thank you 👍🏼🇬🇧 I’ve found if you tap the bottle gently on the tabletop then it can release the airlock of glue at the neck of the bottle and the glue will clear and go to the bottom of the bottom
I am new to quilling and your videos are such a gift! Thank you so much for sharing them! Do you have an Etsy shop or sell your creations anywhere? I would love to support you in some way to say thank you!
Welcome to quilling A Howard! I hope it gives you as much joy as it has for me. You are so sweet! Having your comments is thanks enough and I do have more tutorials and free downloads on my website paperzen.ca
Thanks for your tips! Now my turn: On new bottles of Elmer's Glue, pop off the orange tip and rub a thin film of petroleum jelly over the screw threads. Return the orange tip to its regular place, and glue away. The top will never become glued tight again! I taught 3rd grade, and I did this to every students' glue bottle the first week of school. I reminded kids to "peel off the scab" on the bottle top, and it would always easily twist off. No more frustrated kids!
Thanks, very helpful vid 👍🏻🇬🇧. I didn’t think to squeeze the smaller bottle I was transferring glue into - 🙄. Glue went all over the place but did bash it a LOT on my work surface to get the air out and glue down. Also, what do people use for a pin in the very very small nozzle tips? Mine go rusty ‘always’ even bought special anti rust sewing pins and it still happens. Glue comes out brown :/
I’m happy to hear my tutorial was helpful E H! 🇨🇦 the sewing pin must be stainless steel to avoid rusting because it’s reacting with the liquid in the glue. My husband warns some packaging will claim to be stainless steel but it’s not. I didn’t know this and was lucky mine happened to be stainless steel map pins.
Hi Sharona, not all fine tip glue bottles have the same diameter of tip. Which brand did you buy? Does it say how large the opening is? Here is a blog post where I show a close up photo of some tip diameters: paperzen.blogspot.com/2015/12/my-beloved-glue-bottle.html?m=1
Hi Irene, I have not tried a glue stick, but I don't think it would work well because you would need to apply pressure against the glue stick for the adhesive to coat well. Also, I have found glue sticks are not as strong a bond as the glues mentioned in this video. Try watching this one to see how I prefer to treat my glue: th-cam.com/video/hGL5PDZmyto/w-d-xo.html
Hello Rena, thanks for asking about my e-books! Here's a link to my shop: www.etsy.com/ca/shop/PaperZenShop?ref=shopinfo_shophome_leftnav§ion_id=6316084
What brand of PVA glue do you use Max? What do you enjoy about it most? What brand of fine tip bottle did you buy? There are so many brands out there. That’s great we are on the same page about burping!
What needle/pin do you use? Mine go rusty quickly and glue comes out brown from the rust. I’ve tied stainless steel no rust sewing pins but they still go rusty...:(
My problem is after i fill the glue bottle, even though I have burped or squeezed while filling, the bottle gets filled with air? And it gets hard to squeeze and the glue does not flow out. why does this happen and How to solve? I always clean the nozzle when I fill a bottle. Sometimes though afterwards the bottle remains easy to squeeze and glue flows easily.
If the bottle has an air bubble, then it’s trapped under a thin layer of glue. Use a toothpick to pop the bubble to release the trapped air. Ensure to squeeze the bottle and watch the level of glue come up to the rim, THEN release the squeezing as you fill. This will ensure you don’t trap air again.
I got a fine tipped bottle in a kit. Filled it with Aleens and it was so thick it wouldn’t come out. It looks like you don’t have that problem. Is there a difference in bottles, do you think?
Oh sorry to hear the Aleene's glue didn't work in your bottle Donna. Yes, there must be a difference between our fine tip nozzles then. When I look at the Darice listing on Amazon, I can't find any measurements to tell me how large the tip is. Does your kit say what the measurement of the nozzle is? I wish we could ask a nozzle representative!
@@PaperZenCeceliaLouie no it doesn’t say, unfortunately. But thanks for the brand name of the one you use! I’ll pick up that brand and see if it works!
@@donnaturner5857 YAY! I'm so happy to hear that Donna! Thank you for coming back and telling me. Some people said other brands of bottles didn't work with the Aleene's glue, so I'm relieved to know they didn't change it since I bought mine. Happy quilling to you!
Do you have a good way of filling your glue bottle? What's your favorite brand?
Genius “tip” tips!
Thank you!
Hahaha. I've been fighting with these little glue bottles for awhile and didn't want to ask such a silly question. Thank you!! You read my mind.

Taking the top off the Elmers is why the glue widths are a little different. It never sits back exactly right.
Also I use Elmers. Mostly because I don’t want it to dry too quickly. I’m new at quilling and going slow is better.
Ah! I didn't know that - thanks for sharing Tricia!
Oh good point about the drying - totally makes sense.
Where do you get the bottles with needle applicator?? Help?

Hi. Where do you purchase the steel/ metal fine tip nozzle end from?? please
Hi Nas, I got it here: amzn.to/314Hm0j
I use a cheap PVA and use the burping technique to fill my needle tip bottle

Ma'am which one is the best glue for paper craft.. specially quilling?? ❣️
Every quiller has their own brand of glue they enjoy using most. I like Aleene’s Tacky Glue.
@@PaperZenCeceliaLouie thank you🌸
