Have you tried Reptile Glue? Wish you would! It's also on Amazon.
I love that you’ve used it for 6 months before reviewing! Thank you!
Yes! I agree... It really gives me a chance to use it in my process and see how things hold up during that time. Like I showed, there are a few negatives, but I think the positives outweigh the negatives of this tool. :)
I want to really thank you for spending time focusing on the mechanics and how to use it. The information about hand pains and ways to use the product that will keep you mobility up.
The information about possible pitfalls and tricks on how to overcome them. This is a fantastic overview and I want to say well done!
As someone will severe arthritis i find it a real blessing i would never regret the price ❤❤❤
This is the best, most thorough review of the press that I’ve seen. I, too, have the press and have accidentally glued the needle to the lid. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and solving that issue for me!
Thank you Simon for your demonstrating the glue press. Your thoroughness about the product is impressive. You've inched me more towards purchasing one in the future.
I love this for the simple reason of NOT having to get that pin back into that tiny stinkin hole!!!! Thank you so much for demo-ing this for us.
Thank you for taking the time to do a thorough review. I too have used this tool for several months and I love it. What I did learn though is that I don't necessarily have to recap the glue. My only negative for the glue press is that when the glue is capped it doesn't store in the base, making it awkward to leave out on my desk. I like knowing I can leave it uncapped if it's seated on the base so I can leave this out on my desktop without my glue drying out.
I watched several people over the last few months use the glue press and it won me over very quickly. I have had great deal of pain in my hands, and this glue pen has gotten rid of most of my pain. Can't wait for Jennifer M. to finally cover this. We have seen her use it.
She did a comparison 4 months ago with this.
I have had my glue press for months now and I love it! I was tired of my other glue containers getting clogged up! It’s well worth the price.
Yes! I totally agree. The ease of use makes it totally worth it for me too. :)
Simon, I first noticed you using this tool while watching your videos and immediately went to the list of items you used in the video to find out how I could order it. I have arthritis in my hands and this tool makes using glue on my cards so easy! Like you I now find that I am using my tape runner much less and gluing my cards together most of the time. I highly recommend this tool!
I have been using my glue press for a couple of months. I love it & am surprised how much less glue I now use.
I was gifted this glue press and love it! Thank you for your helpful tips on maintenance and use!
Simon, thank you for being so honest about this glue press! I've been considering it since it came out. Yes, it is an investment, but one only needs to buy it once! Thank you for sharing the MISTI site for purchasing it!
You have given the best review of the glue press. I got one for Christmas and don’t know how I ever lived without it! I won’t ever be without it again! ❤❤
I debated back and forth about buying this but I’m so glad I did. I really like not having to recap the glue bottle repeatedly. I think the price point is very reasonable given that you get the Nuvo glue and an empty bottle. I was having issues with my own Nuvo glue bottle getting clogged so now I can use that one too!
Well, I purchased this when it first came out thinking it would be helpful for my achy hands. Started reading all of the negative reviews and never took it out if the box. Thanks for this review with tips for use, I will get it out and try it now!
Love love love this glue press. Arthritis and carpal tunnel make squeezing a bottle difficult and painful. The glue press is a game changer for me. As for the price, it is worth the extra to me. It is easy to use and removes the pain of gluing.❤
This is a great review of this Glue Press. He gave an hones review that was very helpful ... also gave great tips. Thank you, Simon!
Thank you for your review! I have watched a few videos reviewing the glue press, and wasn't convinced that I needed it. The tip constantly clogging made me very interested in this. I became convinced to give it a try when I saw you using it and you talked a bit about it. I trust your opinion. I ordered it as soon as it came back into stock, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. I did get it out and play with it as I watched your viceo. I find it pretty impossibele to lay my wrist down and use it, but I have pretty bad arthritis. It is so much easier to just pick up what I am gluing and apply it that way, like you did with your die cuts.Thanks again for a great review.
i was gifted this product and had to watch our video on how to use it..i had to snicker alittle when you said to keep your area clean and uncluttered..i try with good intentions to do so but somehow it looks as though a tornado came through. i thought your comments about this alittle amusing.keep up the good work. anxious to use my new tool i have severe rheumatoid arthritis and difiuculity using my hands so hopeully this willbe helpful. thanks again
Thank you for this! It is a game changer for me especially after all the glue work I did with my Valentine cards! Definitely will be investing in one.
So glad I watched this..I thought i had messed up my glue press, but when i used your tips, it came to life again! Excited to use it on my projects today😅
Oh my, I LOVE this new glue press. I have some arthritis and this makes gluing so much easier. I do a lot of layering words and hold them with my needle nosed tweezers while I apply the glue. This has been a game changer for me, making the gluing process more of a "joy" in card making. Thank you for some of the detailed comments in your review to make care easier. Thank You!!!!!
Thank you, I was on the fence about the glue tool, you've just convinced me to go ahead and buy one.
Thank you for the most brilliant review I have ever seen. You touched on everything and it was great that you went into the costs. If the product is worth it you have to expect to pay to help launch it. It looks and sounds fabulous and I have just ordered one. Greetings from Australia.
This is quite the popular tool. I ordered one on 11 ‘23 and just received it today January ‘24. Thanks for all the tips!
Great review. I was finally able to order one today from Taylored Expressions. I already have arthritis in my 50s, so this is an investment that will enable me to craft for years to come.
Our Card Crew at church has been waiting for this product to come back in stock. I ordered 4 today and looking forward to giving these to our team. Thanks for the video it’ll help the ladies to learn how to use this tool.
I don’t have issues with hand or wrist at this time. I agree with remembering to put the cap back on after each use with a regular glue bottle but haven’t had a big clogging problem so far. I really don’t have the space for it on my desk so I will hold off for now but I appreciate the well researched and honest review and all the comments.
Thanks for the review Simon. I saw you using the glue press before and I liked it, so I got it as a present for my birthday; and I LOVE IT! It comes so easy and without hurting my hand. Great product!
Thanks for sharing your experience. It helped me in two ways. First it let me know the press was back in stock. I received a gift certificate to purchase it and sort of forgot I was waiting. Second, I feel better prepared to start using it once it arrives. Your review and tips were very thorough. Thank you.
Thanks for all the tips. I got mine for Christmas because I have arthritis in my thumbs. Haven’t been able to use it as much as I’d like, but love it so far. Good to know I don’t have to stress over getting that kid on every time.
Great and informative review! You are so very correct that one must know where their pain/weakness is coming from to assess what tools may help. Also… those butterfly dies are super awesome, I love mine and use them a LOT!🧑🏼🎨😀💗👍🏻👍🏻
I saw you use this glue press several months ago. I bought it right away! My craft friends giggled at me (all in good fun). Well needless to say, they have now purchased as well. Thank you Simon I enjoy your channel so much and talk about you all the time. Lol. "Simon Hurley said this, and Simon Hurley said that." ❤
Yay! So glad you are living the Glue Press Kim. Also, thank you so much for supporting me and my channel. Means so much to me.🫶🏻
Thanks for honest feedback. I like that you spoke about the cost involved. When you think about it, the price is less than many stamp and die sets and you will be using it a long time if it the right tool for you. Design and manufacture are expensive and it is important to support innovation if you can. Take care.
I enjoyed watching your video and decided on the spot the precision glue press was something I had to have. I've been using it a couple weeks now and I absolutely love it. Thank you so much for your in depth review of this wonderful product. You can't put a price on relief from arthritis or hand fatigue. For me it was worth every penny. Plus, the convenience of not having to cap the glue is awesome. I can focus on creating instead fearing I forgot to cap my glue.
Simon, what a verrry helpful review! I’ve seen several other crafters review this tool and their reviews were incomplete. You really covered all my questions. I also always appreciate your soft sell. I’ll be ordering mine today.
I finally ordered mine. Just had carpal tunnel surgery and it allows me to keep crafting with my non dominant hand
I’ve been using my Glue Press for several months and agree with you about everything. It has changed how I glue, holding up the cardstock rather than having it sit on the craft surface and it works beautifully. I’ve been a gluer for over 10 years and have always appreciated the flexibility glued provides. I recently had an issue with the tip and learned from Customer Service to push the pin in and take it out before putting it back in so as to clear out extra glue which may stick and pull out the nozzle, like yours did. There are replacement bottles available on the website. I was having issues with the glue leaking after putting it on the stand, but will try again getting it to stay upright. Overall, I think it’s an innovative product and makes my glueing process faster and more accurate. Thanks for the great review, Simon!
Thank you Simon for your review. I like how you covered pros and cons of this product. It is on my wishlist for a future purchase!
Simon, Thanks for your honest and helpful review of this product. I already own the Glue Press, and enjoy it, but your review brings up some very helpful points.
Thank you, Simon, for a thorough video of the glue press. I have been waiting for months for this product to come into stock. I just ordered it on a link you supplied. Your tips on usage are wonderful. I enjoy your videos and this one was no exception. I agree, Barely Art glue is the best. Thank you again.
Love your review, thanks. I use bearly arts glue too so I’m really happy to hear it works well with it. ❤❤❤
Just got mine for Christmas and finally had time to use it. Love it. Easy to use and saves my hands. Well worth every penny for me!
I’ve bought 3 of these. I use them at my card making class I teach each month at our local Senior Center. They find it so easy to use & so do I!! The price is fine for what you get, and unlike me, you really only need one!
I got 2 for Christmas and didn’t realize they had different size openings and now I can use both on my craft desk great informational video! Thanks.
Nuvo has great quality products. There are often details in the manufacturing and use of quality products which may not be apparent when buying off the shelf or ordering on line. Getting to see how something is used and learning tips about how to use it can be really important to customer satisfaction. I saw you using the Glue Press last year and thought it was a great product. I liked that it could apply fine lines of glue to detailed die cuts like the butterflies you used in this video. I like all of the features of this product. It's well thought out. That it's easier on the hands will be a game changer for a lot of people too! Thank you Simon for all of your excellent videos!
Of all the "tools" that I purchased last year, and I didn't purchase too many because I have limited space, this is one of the most useful. I use the MISTI Precision Glue Press often and I've enjoyed it. It is money well spent! I do not regret buying this at all.
❤ to you Simon for your honest & informative thoughts on products. Love all of your creativity & information
I bought one of these when they first came on the market. When I started to use it, was pleased how handy a tool it has been. Much easier on my fingers than pressing a small bottle of glue. I give this g;ue press a thumbs up!!
Just had to thank you for this again: I just got mine from our local independent scrapbooking store (Ontario, 🇨🇦). Your video was the first review video I watched & after seeing a few others’ positive opinion, I decided to go for it! Anyone on the fence: I definitely recommend!!
Lynn Le Bel Thanks Simon! I appreciate your demonstration so much!! I had see people using this tool and was not sure if I knew all the special design details about it. I am now more confident I know if this tool is for me.
This review was brilliant. Thank you! I have been considering purchasing this for quite a while now and you have convinced me that it is value for money. At the end of the video I immediately purchased the Precision Glue Gun through my local craft store here in Australia. Thanks again Simon.
What store was that Carol? I’ve just had it shipped from America.
Thank you for this review/turorial. I have one and love it. I made 20 Christmas cards with a very detailed snowflake border. The glue press gave me a very thin stream of glue. I would have had trouble with any other adhesive. And no mess!
Thank you for this great in-depth review. I appreciate how you showed the various aspects of how you use the glue press and really trust your judgment.
This video was very helpful. I have problems with my hands so this glue press sure would help me. I think it’s a great tool to have for everyone . 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for a very thorough review. I love the fact you left it for a couple of weeks as I often go a week or more without crafting and my glues drive me mad 😂. Hope I can find this in the uk
Wow Simon amazing review as always! Honestly when this came out I was thinking, now there’s a tool I don’t need to waste my money on but the whole just put it in the holder non clog thing might have won me over. Also love that you showed picking your card stock up to glue because I have always thought it looked awkward otherwise.
Yes it works. I’ve had mine for a while. My hands shake slightly and I have grip problems so I thought I’d give this a go. What a difference, certainly for me. Great vid Simon. ❤
Great review, Simon. I appreciate all your information. I ordered via your link and thanks so much for this video. I have decided this will be very helpful to not have to put a pin in my Art Glitter glue that clogs easily. I do love Nuvo Deluxe glue too. I use it now for most of my crafting. I also recently got the full size Misti. I have the mini one. But oh my goodness, the full size one is a dream. Why did I wait so long. But I was able to get the rose quartz one. Yay.
I’ve had mine for over a month now and I Love it. My right has arthritis really bad and I could not squeeze the small bottles any longer and I had to wait 6 mos for this to be back in stock , and let me tell you it was SO WORTH THE WAIT.
I have arthritis and this is the best glue press I have used. Thanks for showing us the reviews
Thank you! I pretty much wrote it off after discovering hot water and ammonia would clean my bottle tips, today, but watched thus anyhow. This looks so much simpler the way you realistically demonstrated it. My hand does hurt trying to squeeze the bottles. I worried about sentiments, but it looks like it will work ok. I like how you showed a different angle, too. I don't think i rest my hand anyhow. I just might try this tool after seeing this. I have a friend who might enjoy this, too... we all have worn out hands but love crafting. I agree about the price and innovation. It is always a huge risk to introduce something new. I looked for something similar, but it was $119! Your fears were correct, it is out of stock everywhere! 😂 I am patient.
Your presentation of this product was just wonderful! I think this would be very helpful and convenient for me. I had surgery on my hand and now it is hard for me to use my thumb and forefinger to pinch. I think squeezing that trigger would be a lot easier. It gets really annoying having to put the pin back in the glue bottle every time I set it down. That stand would really solve that problem. Thank you so much for this video! It was really helpful.
Glad that you found the video helpful Lisa!
Thanks for the honest very useful review of the glue press. I have been on the fence about it. Your information really helps when deciding to purchase new tools. I also like seeing new tools/options coming to the crafty world. Glad you got a break. Looking forward to your new videos. Bye.
I got tired of pulling a rusty pin out of my glue bottle tip.
I use a 1 or 2 drops of water in the lid of my glue, when I finish for the day. I ignore the glue in the nozzle & just give half a squirt of water from my Distress sprayer on my desk into the cap & put the tip into the water in the cap.
I hadn't used my Glossy Accents in 4 years (at least) I could not unscrew the lid without cracking it, eventually using a heat gun. So, imagine how surprised I was when the product flowed out of the bottle at my first squeeze. I'll continue, because it works, and it's free! GB
Thank you for this video Simon. I have debated on whether to get this glue gun. Your demo helped me a lot on my decision. 😊
I love my glue press! ❤ I have arthritis on both hands and this has been a game changer for me! I have been using this for a couple months and think the cost is definitely worth it for the glue press and the comfort.
I appreciate the thorough review, and your honesty to talk about your experience with it. I was on the fence, but decided to try it. I love the idea especially of not having to put the pin in and out of my bottle all the time - that drives me crazy. I think it’ll be worth the price just to have that issue solved.
Great job Simon!! Can’t wait for it to arrive!!
I’m going to check it out. I have dexterity problems so it might be very helpful for my crafting projects. ❤
I have been wanting one of these & since it sold out so quickly … I didn’t get one. Thanks to you … I just got one! Hooray & thank you!!! ❤❤❤
I just ordered one. My hands mostly thumbs are very sore with having had surgery on the left first and planning to get the right done last, which I’ve changed my mind. Out of over 12 surgeries, this was the absolute most painful.
I saw Jennifer M and others using this glue gun and it took a month or two to find out the name and who sold it, uggggg! Anyhow I am very thankful for your tips Simon!!! It will help tremendously and help me avoid any frustration. Ty❤
I was finally able to get my glue press when it came back in stock. Had it a few weeks and love it. Also love Bearly Art glue.
Love your reviews, full of good information. I am so glad you take breaks occasionally, it always helps me and renews my crafting spirit
Thank you so much!! I try my best to include as much information as possible so you can make informed decisions. :)
The break was so wonderful. Spent lots of time with friends and family over the holidays.
This is a great idea for dispensing glue. I have something like it that's made for spray paint cans and it helps so much!
I bought the glue press after seeing your review and a few others. At last! Something that makes using liquid glue a pleasant experience instead of messy and frustrating! If you are hesitant, I say go ahead and get one, you won’t be sorry. Thanks for your excellent tips, Simon.
Just picked my order up today! Can’t wait to use mine! Thanks for the tips
Love the glue press ty for your information didn’t know it could glue it’s self to the tip great advise
Happy New Year, Simon! Hope your holiday was great.
Thank you for the in depth review Simon. I've watched you using this with great interest, but wanted to wait on reviews. Boy have I had issues with gluing pins to nozzles! Lol
Thank you also for giving some explanation on the price. Sometimes it isn't understood what all goes into creating a product. I think this is a worthwhile tool for sure.
Loved your quick and easy card!
Thank you for such a comprehensive review. I was in two minds about this but now feel it will be a go to tool. 😀
I have arthritis in my hands and this has made a difference in whether I get to craft or not. Love mine
Hello Simon, I also bought that MISTI glue gun last year, I just love it, nothing is perfect but this one is close, thank you for sharng.
Excellent review Simon. Thanks for all the info - both pros and cons. I have been using the little fine tipped bottles but I do forget to put the lid on occasionally and then the tip always clogs. It is such a pain to clean it out afterwards b
I purchased the glue press when first released and love it! It is the only liquid glue dispenser I use anymore.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this tool and going over all the details so thoroughly because I was on the fence about getting it - I do a lot of fine detail work and having a fine tip glue nozzle is imperative to me - I too use the Bearly Art glue and glue marks show thru my card stock if too much glue is applied - thanks once again!
Thanks Simon! Lots of good tips. I love mine right out of the box❤️
Thank you Simon for your honest review. I remember thinking that the MISTI was expensive but then I just got the middle size and I can’t imagine not having it n my craft room . Doing multiples of cards can’t be accomplished without a MISTI. I have to be selective about what I buy and this is my next investment in card crafting
I love my glue press. I find I don’t use as much glue. It was really worth the money, so glad I got it.
Great informative video Simon..thanks for explaining the price points and how they came up with it.. I think its pretty fair and plan on purchasing it..have a great day..
Thank you for this informative video. I was intrigued with this glue press when I first saw it, but it was sold out. Now that you’ve given the pros and cons, I will definitely purchase one. Nuvo glue is my go-to adhesive so it’s only fitting that I buy the perfect holder!
Hi Simon; I love your videos! I bought my glue press when it 1st came out but due to some health issues I haven't had the chance to try it! I'm so glad you made this video to help us! My favorite glue is the Bearly Arts too! That is the glue I plan to refill with with. I too always used tape runners but after spending alot of time making intricate cards & crafts then to hear they came apart was heart breaking! I still use full sticky backing to place card on card as if I use glue it seems to leave raised areas where glue dries but I'm learning. Thank you so much for making these videos! I switched to all of your inks & paste. Have a great day! Hugs!
I’ve been wondering about this since it came out. Thank you for the honest review! ❤
Thanks Simon. Once you said that we could use Bearly Arts glue and works well for people with Arthritis I was sold. Can’t wait to get it!
Absolutely stunning card! This has been in my “think it over list” but worried about the clogging - thanks for the review!
I've been waiting and waiting for it to come back in stock. Late Christmas present for myself? Doesn't matter. It's bought! Can't wait to use in person.
I wondered about a REALLY intricate die, if you only wanted dots of glue.
I love my glue press. I have used Nuvo glue for a long time and am very happy with it. I, too, have arthritis and this glue press is the best!
I will be buying the glue press. I am having trouble with thumbs and palm areas of my hands, which sometimes makes it difficult to squeeze the glue bottle. I'm thankful for a product that will help me so I can continue to make my cards. Thank you for sharing.
Great Review Simon. I am glad you showed the issue with the caps. I had my doubts about this tool as I felt it should be demoed & reviewed by someone with hand issues similar to mine. I waited until I could find a shop I could try before buying. Maymay Made It’s shop allowed me to do that. It does have a learning curve to find the best way to hold it for your hand issues. For me it is a bit big for my hand BUT so much better than hard to squeeze bottles. Now the tip not drying out while uncapped in the holder is an issue with mine. I have mine seated like yours in the video with the fine tip with the Nuvo glue & it clogs. So I switched the tips to the larger one for the Nuvo & it is better but still clogs. I too use Bearly Art glue. My press doesn’t sit in the holder as smoothly (tightly) as yours does. The pins in the caps are a bit wobbly so don’t be in a rush when capping. All that aside it is a big help for my gluing needs. A smaller version for petite hands would be awesome. Price is fair to be able to glue & craft pain free. 💜
I saw the fine tips for sale in a 2 pack. I need to check if they are the same as these for the glue press
Thank you for the demo. I think I have been guilty of not checking that the glue gun is fully resting in te base. I was always finding the tip plugged, even while crafting for a few hours. Hopefully I can use it properly going forward, haha!
