Been using a Gluebot for a few years now. Didn't realize I'd become spoiled by it.
Left the Gluebot at a jobsite so had to go buy some glue (Elmers looked good).
The Elmers was really annoying to use. You have to tilt the bottle and wait
(not long with a full bottle but when it gets low you have to wait a while) then squeeze.
What really bugged me with the Elmers is that the glue tended to continue coming out
of the nozzle as I pulled it away from the work so I kept having to clean up little lines of extraneous glue.
The Elmers nozzle allows a high flow rate which would be good sometimes but is too high for general use.
The Gluebot flow rate is just right for precise application. With Gluebot you simply pick up the bottle and squeeze.
No tilting required as the nozzle is tilted and the glue chamber always has glue in it until you're out.
As soon as you stop squeezing the flow stops, and you don't have to squeeze hard. The nozzle also allows
direct injection into biscuit and Domino holes. I usually follow up with a scrap of wood but a scrap of plastic
cut from a coffee can lid is excellent since it can be cut to size and the dried glue peals off.
I'm gonna have to buy another Gluebot.
