Creative Hobbies® Glue Applicator Syringe for Flatback Rhinestones & Hobby Crafts, 5 Ml with 18 Gauge Precision Tip - Value Pack of 10

I do a lot of rhinestoning and small detail work, and this glue applicator syringe has been a game changer for me. The fine tip lets me place glue exactly where I want it without overdoing it, which is huge when you’re working with tiny stones. It’s comfortable to hold, easy to control, and way cleaner than using toothpicks or trying to squeeze glue straight from the bottle. I also like that it’s reusable and easy to rinse out when I’m done. If you do any kind of crafting, bedazzling, or precision gluing, this is one of those simple tools that actually makes the process smoother and less messy. Definitely recommend.

Perfect for doing rhinestone work. Maes it easier

Packaged well, fast delivery excellent product

I learned about these syringes from YouTube Mary Polanco about a week before giving a class to over 55 years old never before card makers. I had my students gluing full card face intricate die cuts to watercolor paper on card fronts. Only having 3 bottles of glue, (I was giving this class at our 2nd home community far from my home craft room!) I figured it would take a lot of time and sharing. Using these 10 syringes enabled almost everyone having their own glue! The 18 gauge tips were great for the drops of glue needed to adhere the die cuts to the watercolor paper! What a great alternative solution to add liquid glue to the intricate die cuts in card making! And the syringes were easily cleaned with hot soapy water after use to use again in the future!

I use these every year to apply rhinestones to costumes. They are easy to fill with the glue that I use and allow for better control over how much of that glue ends up on the back of the rhinestone (if you do this a lot, you realize that a little bit goes a long way, and too much ends up making a mess). These are perfect for those tiny drops of glue/placement. You can't really reuse them, unless you are doing so immediately. The needle tends to get clogged up if it sits for a while, but that isn't a problem if you are actively working on a project. They will leak a bit if you leave them laying somewhere while you are working, so be sure to put the syringe onto something that you don't mind throwing away after. The syringes are lightweight, easy to manipulate, and very functional. I really like the sizing of them, because it makes it easy to do my projects without a lot of fuss.

These are perfect for stoning dance costumes. I used to use a toothpick and a white crayon for stoning. Now, I use these (filled with E6000) and a little plastic tool with a ball of wax on it to pick up the stones. Much faster! However, I have now purchased this product in 3 different sizes (14, 15 and 18) trying to get the right size tip for the small (SS16 and SS20) stones I was using. Note that the higher the gauge #, the smaller the tip. After receiving my second purchase, which I erroneously thought would have smaller tips than my first purchase, I did some research. The best explanation I found was from a medical student who put it this way: the gauge size is the number of needles laid side-by-side that it would take to fill a unit of measure. In others words, if 14 size 14 tips laid side-by-side measured 1 cm, it would take 22 size 22 tips to fill the same 1 cm space. The higher # means you need more to fill the space, since it is narrower. I hope that is clear. I wish the seller would clearly put that information on their page. I did keep all 3 sizes as I know I will use the larger tips on other projects. Overall, a great product at a great price!

Great for crafting with glue.

Just exactly as described. Works well for applying thin glue to paper projects. Do not overfill with glue ! Great for arthritic fingers if you experience pain when squeezing regular glue bottles.
