This is the best product review I have seen from anyone. You did a great job of walking through every aspect of the product and its use. Waiting until you used the product 6 months gave the review a high degree of credibility. Thank you Simon
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. :)
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 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!
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 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.
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!
Your review on this product is awesome. So informative and thorough. I have been using this product for quite awhile and your tips have made it so much more functional.
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 bought this last month based on this video. Had my doubts cuz I reeeally don't like working with glue cuz it's so messy. Just used it today for the first time, and this tool is a game changer for me. It's so easy to control how much glue you dispense with this, and the Nuvo glue works so well!!! I am so glad I bought this!!!
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!
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.❤
Thanks so much. This fantastic review convinced me to buy this fantastic product. I have EDS and limited use of my hands. Wish I had been more careful about not injuring myself when I was younger because now I am paying the price for repeated injuries over the years. My thumbs are especially weak and, therefore, my grip also. This glue press is a life changer for me. I can now dispense glue precisely and with little effort. I think even people with strong hands would appreciate how much better this works than normal glue bottles, especially if they follow Simon's advice on how to use it. Two thumbs up!
I have nerve and muscle damage in both hands. The press has made glueing much easier. I love it. Tools to ease my hand pain are worth the cost. I got my press shortly after this video on this recommendation. It is a thorough review. My glue puddles on the silicon no matter how careful I am to seat it correctly but I pull the gunk off when it starts getting messy and good to go. I have NEVER had to use a pin to clear the nozzle. I dont leave mine after I finish project because it always sits a bit off. I bet it would make its usual puddle and stop. On delivery the filled glue bottle was hardened from the cold weather. They did send me a six dollar refund which I put towards replacing the bottle. You can also buy the caps independently from the bottles. So I recommend getting one (use Simon’s link in the description) during a warm spell😂 I know of other glues that are temp sensitive. Buy it, enjoy it! Love mine!
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! ❤❤
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.
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.
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’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!
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.
The same thing happened with my glue tip. I couldn’t remember if it came that way or if it became stuck. After seeing yours, I think it is supposed to be that way. I put fabric glue in the bottle that has the needle “stuck”. That glue is thick so it is perfect for the bigger hole. I love this tool. I have hand issues and using this helps apply glue. I never have had an issue with it not working. Once or twice it clogged, but I just stuck a pin in it and it works fine. I keep it in the holder and have never put the lid back on and have had hardly any issues.
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.
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😅
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!
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!
I love my glue press. It's the greatest, most useful craft tool to come out in a long time. It serves one purpose, and it does it well. As a cardmaker, I appreciate function over gimmick any day.
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." ❤
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!!!!!
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.
Can’t wait till mine arrives now especially after watching your video. Some stock came into uk other day. So I ordered it immediately. It’s winging itself to Northern Ireland as I speak. ❤
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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❤
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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!!
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
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’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.
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
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.
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 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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
This is a great tool. I think the price is fair though - further to what Simon said in the video. It's a great innovation for people who have hand issues. I think it's a great tool for people who are crafting a lot - why wait to have hand issues and THEN buy this tool? Buy it now as a prevention. I'd suggest they come up with an adjustable strap to fit a few more sizes of glue bottles. The extra empty bottle included is very very kind and generous so you're not bound to use the Nuvo glue!!! I'm definitely saving for this as the next addition to my craft room. Thank you Simon for the wonderful review video. Helpful, as always!
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'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.
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
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.
I have this, I LOVE it. Order extra bottles so you can use different glues. I love the lid with a pin, no glue dried and stuck…I ordered 2 extra bottles.
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.
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 hope you find this video helpful! Comment below your thoughts. :)

This is the best product review I have seen from anyone. You did a great job of walking through every aspect of the product and its use. Waiting until you used the product 6 months gave the review a high degree of credibility. Thank you Simon
As someone will severe arthritis i find it a real blessing i would never regret the price ❤❤❤
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.
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 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 been using my glue press for a couple of months. I love it & am surprised how much less glue I now use.
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!

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. :)

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!
Thank you, Simon! I just ordered this press because of hand pain. I appreciate you taking the time to review this and with hints to use it
I love my glue press. It's the greatest, most useful craft tool to come out in a long time. It serves one purpose, and it does it well. As a cardmaker, I appreciate function over gimmick any day.
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.🫶🏻
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!!!!!
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.
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.
Can’t wait till mine arrives now especially after watching your video. Some stock came into uk other day. So I ordered it immediately. It’s winging itself to Northern Ireland as I speak. ❤
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!
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! I have purchased two and plan either to use both or gift one to a friend! Your review is great.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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❤
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.
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!
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.
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!!
I have arthritis and this is the best glue press I have used. Thanks for showing us the reviews
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.
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.
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!!
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
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 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 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 have arthritis in my hands and this has made a difference in whether I get to craft or not. Love mine
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
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.
I love my glue press and haven’t had problems with it. I highly recommend it.
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 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 purchased the glue press when first released and love it! It is the only liquid glue dispenser I use anymore.
I’m going to check it out. I have dexterity problems so it might be very helpful for my crafting projects. ❤
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.
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.
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!
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.
I love mine. We pay a lot higher here in Canada but is well worth every penny
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.
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!
This is a great tool. I think the price is fair though - further to what Simon said in the video. It's a great innovation for people who have hand issues. I think it's a great tool for people who are crafting a lot - why wait to have hand issues and THEN buy this tool? Buy it now as a prevention. I'd suggest they come up with an adjustable strap to fit a few more sizes of glue bottles. The extra empty bottle included is very very kind and generous so you're not bound to use the Nuvo glue!!! I'm definitely saving for this as the next addition to my craft room. Thank you Simon for the wonderful review video. Helpful, as always!
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'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.
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
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.
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.
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 have this, I LOVE it. Order extra bottles so you can use different glues. I love the lid with a pin, no glue dried and stuck…I ordered 2 extra bottles.
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!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you, I was on the fence about the glue tool, you've just convinced me to go ahead and buy one.
I got one for Christmas and i can’t wait to use it! I spend so much time unplugging the glue nozzles!
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 just ordered one of these, thanks to you review. it was very helpful!
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.
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!
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!
