A cool tip from T!m

We used Glossy Accents in class, ofcourse! Does your clog up/seal over and you have to keep putting a pin in it?
Do this,
when you use it, set it down HARD on the table - kind of like you are putting down a glass with a bit of force. JUST ONCE. Place top on, don't need to screw all the way down, just set it on there (unless you are all done using it). This one force will cause the glue to go back into the bottle and not settle in neck/tip. Don't hit it twice - the second hit will cause the glue to go back up into the neck/tip. Just placing the lid on it will keep air out so it doesn't dry.

I just love getting these little snippets of info that are priceless! Tim said he used to keep a pin in his, then it would rust shut :lol:

I've been keeping a piece of wire with mine to unclog it. What a simple solution to something so aggravating.

I always break off a staple, straighten it and poke it in the hole, same with my glue bottle LOL

Thanks for the tip!

The smack on the table works with
all of your bottles/containers with
the nozzle type applicator not just Glossy Accents

That's a great tip. I've been keeping a piece of wire on my desk as well for this.

And here I thought I was so bright for using the paper piercer to unclog the tip! :lol: This will be so much simpler!!
