Hi! I forgot to mention - i have tried MANY precision glue bottles in the past. Many! These two have worked best for me. Also, these bottles can be used with any liquid glue you prefer. just fill the empty bottles!

Where do find those little bottle with silicone cap?

"I have GOT to get one of these!" - my husband heard me shout. He looked over, saw what it was, and said, "As many cards you make a week for charities, you should buy it. Don't wait like you always do until all of the sites are out of stock. Just buy it!" What a smart guy! I'm off to find a site that's selling it. I use both Tonic Nuvo as I get a full-size bottle every few months in my monthly Tonic Stamp and Dies membership kit and Beary Art glue. I'll happily use my 5onic glue and decant Beary glue into the spare bottle to switch them up.😊

Someone reviewed the glue press and said it was difficult to use with arthritis so I was a little leary of purchasing it. I received mine several days ago and am in love with it. It is so much easier to squeeze thank a regular bottle of glue. i have used both the regular tip and the fine tip bottles and have no difficulty with either one. I am so glad I went ahead and purchased it.

It’s nice to see that products are being made for older folks. I teach classes and the majority of my students are older. There’s a lot of grey heads around those crafting tables. Things like this make it so much easier for people who may have arthritis etc. great idea.

I always appreciate your comprehensive analysis of the many wonderful products. Thank you!

Thank you for the review. We appreciate your honesty & integrity!

Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing this nifty new product with us!!!

For my glue bottle topper, I combined both options (the rubber stopper and a pin). I top of the pin (the ball part) into the stopper piece that would normally fit over the nozzle of the glue bottle. So I now have a pin to put into the nozzle, but I don't lose it because it's always attached to the rubber stopper thing (I know, all these technical terms are impressive, aren't they 😂)

I love the variety of jewelry you display too! Your rings are gorgeous! I must try this new tool!!! Gina K Connect is my fave too!

Thank you for always introducing new products honestly.

Thanks for this demo Jennifer. I love the Gina K fine tip bottles and her glue. They are awesome. The glue press is pretty cool tool.

Thank you for this video! Without your demo, I wouldn't have looked twice at the Glue Press. It could be very helpful in Christmas card production ❤

timing on this glue press is perfect for me as I have recently begun to have problems with strength in my hands so squeezing a bottle is getting difficult yet I still want to craft as it brings me joy

This was a great video Jennifer 🎉, thanks so much for showing us the Gina K glue and precision bottles that I’ve seen you use heaps but also for showing us the Glue Press ! I didn’t even know that was available, so it’s fantastic to see it in action and hear your views on it. 😊 it was a really informative and well thought out video and so much appreciated, thanks again 😘

I’m so glad you did this video!!! I bought 4 last week. One for myself and I am gifting one to 3 of my crafty friends!!

Thank you Jennifer for this great review! I am SO glad that you mentioned about the longer red handle. I need to lay my arm/wrist on my desk to have better control of my glue bottle, so for me I will stick with my little gina k bottle, but for others it may be an awesome option!

I have been contemplating this tool. Thank you for reviewing it and sharing with us. 💖🌸

Love the idea of getting ink to flow nice and thinly. Love the idea of no blockage either. Thank you for sharing.

Very helpful. I just ordered the GK set. Your review is perfect timing! Thank you!

Great how-to video, Jennifer. You answered all my questions. Thank you!

Really like that you show us options and what is new in the crafting world. I decorate eggs for a hobby as well as make cards. Just recently, someone called me ‘the paper queen’ as I use die cuts as decorative elements on the eggs. So many thanks to you and all the others who generously share ideas. BY THE WAY, have you and your children used die cuts to decorate glass Xmas balls! I use eggs but the possibilities are endless if the die cuts are the right size.

!!!! My older creaky hands are so excited i clicked thru and bought the glue press before i even finished the video... And as it happens, the Nuvo Deluxe is my favorite adhesive. i love it and it's super strong, but it is a bit thicker than other glues which makes it harder to squeeze. Especially with their new fine precision nozzles my hands would hurt by the end of the day (I make a lot of mini albums and 3D stuff that takes a lot of glue). Thanks so much as always for not only bringing us the latest and greatest but for showing us how to use it and the tips and tricks to get the most out of the items. You're really a godsend for the paper crafting world ❤

Cool! Thanks so much for a very informative and thorough demonstration of the new tool. It looks like a great tool!

I will say, after seeing the glue press on your desk with “Gina ❤️” on it, I just had to try it! Lol after all, it had my name on it 😊 I absolutely love the Bearly art glue. I have arthritis, and I’m hoping that perhaps the hand pump will make it easier for me to use. Thanks so much for sharing your crafty advise with us. You’re the best! ❤

Thank you so much for the info, I’ve never tried Gina K glue. Might have to give it a try for sure. I’ve been using the a different glue but I’m always willing to try something different. The glue press looks like a great option for people with hand issues, cause sometimes the bottles can be tricky to squeeze. Love all your videos and especially your honest non bias reviews on products. ❤

I have arthritis in my hands, and the the thicker glues I love I can now use by hardly squeezing handle at all - gloss accents come out of the fine tip like a dream and Simon says stamp craft tacky glue is amazing in this thing. Even my husband tried it and was impressed when he went from trying to squeeze the fine tip bottles I used for both of those to this one. And I left my bearly art glue unstopped for 4 days and never clogged or stopped working.

Hand/wrist issues can definitely make card making difficult, so I’m glad that the glue press may be a viable alternative for those who have trouble squeezing a bottle. My personal preference is glue that already comes in a bottle with an ultrafine tip applicator (or that has an ultrafine tip that I can easily screw onto the original bottle) so I don’t have to transfer glue from one bottle to another. Im too messy for that!!😂 It’s great that we have several quality glues and applicators to choose from to meet each of our needs/preferences.

Thank you for sharing new products with us. Sure appreciate you!

Oh wow, thank you so much. I definitely going get this, thank you for sharing and demo the new tools.

Perfect timing. I have been using the Gina K connect but when my arthritis flares in my thumbs I was jus saying I wish there was a tool to help when I can't squeeze the glue bottles. I will have to give this a try.

So I’m not the only one that has trouble with that little stopper! Lol. And because of that, I keep losing it. Those things go walkabout constantly on my desk! Thanks for the tips!

I rarely have clogging issues. I use a Oui jar with a damp paper towel in the bottom. I just keep my glue bottle upside down in it while using it. When I am finished using it, i clean the tip, tap it on the table to expel the little glue blob and replace the tip. Every month or so i remove the top of the glue and clean it under hot water. No problems. I am so sorry that so many of you have so many physical issues. I guess i am very lucky to be in my 70’s and not to have any issues. 🙏🙏🙏 for all of you.

you just need to put a sewing pin (the one with a plastic ball at the end) inside the tiny bottle and it will unclug it. it is what we used to use for years in the crafting world and it is perfect and cost effective as you prolly have sucha pin at home anyway...

Wow. Pink Petunia once again delivering an amazing product.

Thanks for demoing! Love new toys!

I used Gina K for years until I got some (from 2 different sources) that was so thin that it ran out of the bottle just by turning it upside down, so I started looking for options. Tried the Nuvo and it's been my go to since. The pin in the cap works great for no clogging and bonus, my 75 year old hands find the shape of the bottle easier to use than regular round ones.

My personal favorite glue is Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. I have two bottles on my desk at all times: one with the regular tip and one with the precision nozzle. I've tried most major brands, including the Gina K fine tip bottles, and, for me, Nuvo is the only glue where I never encounter clogged tips. I live in the South, where it's humid most of the year. I find bottles with longer nozzles or that use a pin get clogged between uses and take precious crafting time to clean before use.

Thanks for the information and demonstration...but $35. + shipping, I think I'll stick to my refillable fine tip bottle.😊

I've been using Gina K's little bottles ever since they were introduced and love them & Connect Glue, which I use exclusively. My biggest problem is arthritis in my thumbs, so squeezing is becoming painful. I may have to try the newest invention by My Sweet Petunia, and if it's anything like their Misti invention, it will be game changing! Oh, the little plastic stopper on Gina's little bottles - I just tuck it under my finger when I'm using it so it's never in the way and never lost in the mess on my workspace!

I used to use Gina K Connect. After I tried Nuvo Precision GLUE. I simply had to go to Amazon and find 4 Oz bottles with fine tips with stoppers. Looks just like Gina's bottles but holds more. Like I said I couldn't squeeze the bottles. I already had bones removed from my left hand. I won't do that again. Personally I think Nuvo glue is the best. I make cards and heavy stock boxes. I know you'll stay with your friend's brand. All good. I'm sure glad you showed me this. Now I don't have to empty my Nuvo glues.❤

Great review Jennifer. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦

Love the rubber stopper coraling idea. I love wet glue.

Purchased the Glue Press after watching your live video today!

I love using Reptile craft glue. Its strong, not too thick so it squeezes easily, and I've found it less expensive than Gina K or Bearly Art. I keep it in a precision bottle, upside down, with the rubber stopper. I have a silicone sucker-bottomed thing from Dollar Tree that's meant to hold nail polish, I think. I suction that to my desk with a plastic shot glass in it. I don't lose my glue, never have to shake it down, and the tip doesn't clog. I love this system. That said, I'm still considering the glue press for when i have tons of gluing to do, such as for Christmas cards or wedding invitations. Thanks, Jennifer.

I have recently switched to an electric die cutting machine. I have always used a sizzix big shot but noticed that the last time i cut a load of intricate wedding invitations my wrist and shoulder were so sore. I bought the gemini jr because you were using it. ( I then bought a sizzix switch as a back up.) I will buy this glue press. I have seen a lot of reviews and I trust My Sweet Petunia products. I have a watched a review where the person used all kinds of products in the glue press.

thanks for the wonderful helpful video 😊❤ and your nails look awesome 💅🏼

Hi Jennifer. Thank you for this review of the glue press. I have now seen this product 3 times and am wondering if I need it. I do love Nuvo Deluxe adhesive in its original bottle. It is my main glue. It hardly ever clogs. I also love Art Glitter glue. But it has clogging issues. I could put it in the spare bottle. I have a tiny desk, so space is an issue. But so is arthritis. LOL. I may just have to get this glue press. Again, thanks for your great review..

Jennifer--I have watched your videos for years, and you have never steered me wrong. If you did earn money on the things you showcase, well that is part of your job. I wish people would learn that. Plus what is wrong with you being friends with Gina or others that you showcase. One of my favorite videos is where you told the story about your husband being on the design team for press and seal. Please keep doing the videos just the way you have been, and do not worry about the naysayers. I remember when I was haveing a problem with one of my card projects a few years ago my husband said go watch Jennifer McGuire she will know the answer. You have no idea how shocked I was because my husband never even touched my iPad, but he must’ve been listening while I was watching your videos.

I don’t know if it was said but the real silver coated or silver pins are the best to cap glues and other small tips you want to keep unclogged. You have to look at fabric stores or like Joann’s. If you use a silver colored pin you will begin to get rust. Yes stainless pins were mentioned .

Thank you for showing this.❤

WOW awesome that's a game changer! it is so frustrating .thanks so much

Great video and demonstration.

This looks amazing!!

I love my glue press. I will continue to use it with my regular crafting glue. This is not a complaint just a warning. I had a big project that required 3in1 glue in a fine tip bottle. Ive done this before and it is tiring for my hands so I filled up the second bottle with the larger tip and got to work. I just filled the bottle part way to see if it worked and it seemed great but I ended up with glue everywhere! The bottle I had just refilled split open! I now have a ruined project, ruined pants and I’m recovering from a major glue headache. I think I have been able to save the glue press which I do like! It now says on the site not to use 3 in 1or another acetone based glue and when I contacted Sweet Petunia that was the first thing they asked. But how are we to know this when it isn’t on the box and no one mentions it!

Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for your vedios! I am a big fan of all your vedios. I do have a question about the glue press. Can the glue press stand be used without the press part? I would love if I could just stand my glue on that silicon stopper while using. ❤ Ayona ,

Thanks so much! So helpful.

I bought it and love it easy to use since I have arthritis

I love the look of this and am really interested in buying it but could you please tell me if it still works OK when the glue is getting low in the bottle? Thank you so much. xxx💖💖💖

I put the ring bit around the base of the bottle and it stays out of the way when using and I don’t lose it. I tap bottle on the desk before putting cap on

I'm waiting to be notified that it's back in stock. Won't be so hard on my hand to use the glue press.

I would be curious to see how you like the Tonic glue. It is my favorite. I have been using it since it first came out. Thank you for this video. I did order the new dispenser. I have issues with my right hand and I think this will help. I have to craft on my lap so I have a problem misplacing the lid. Thankfully it is fairly large. This product should take care of that also. Lol.

I asked this question on a couple of other videos: I recently purchased the Precision Glue Press, and it worked great with the new glue bottle. But, now that the bottle is a little less than halfway, the glue won't squeeze out unless I take it out of the holder and SHAKE the glue to the nozzle, and squeeze it by hand. Anyone else have this problem?? Very disappointing because when the bottle of glue was new, this was PERFECT when squeezing out the glue. Thanks !!

Hi from Scotland 😊

I’ve enjoyed having my precision glue press right from the start. My arthritic hands can manage this way better. I had really hoped I’d be able to purchase the red silicone seal separately since I’ve accidentally lost my cushioned seat. Unfortunately, Iliana says “I do not sell any spare parts for the glue press.” 😢

Yhank you for your review.

I love Nuvo Deluxe glue-just enough wiggle time without having to wait ‘forever’. It doesn’t show thru my paper, either. I don’t have difficulty making precise dots of glue with the regular tip. I have tried the little bottles but have had multiple mishaps-glueing the cap to the top and pulling the whole thing out trying to remove it, losing the cap when the connector broke, replacing the cap with a supposedly stainless steel pin that wasn’t, etc. Arthritis in my hands is making it difficult to squeeze the Nuvo bottle when it gets to the halfway point or lower. I would like to get the glue press but I would really like to know how well the press works to get the last of the glue out of the bottle. I need someone who gets to the end of the bottle of glue to say, “Yes, I can get the last little bit of glue out, or No, the press is no better than trying to get the last bit out by squeezing the bottle by hand.” Thank for the video.

Jennifer, I'm loving your nail color in this video! Would you share the color? 😊

Liquid glue works well. Just put an acrylic block or something on it to make sure it has good contact when drying

I don't like using liquid glue because it's hard for my arthritic hands to squeeze. because I get glue all over my fingers most of the time and because of the constant clogs. I'm ordering this hoping it will help me stop disliking liquid glue!

Unfortunately the metal tips get stuck and comes apart from the lid. It's happened to BOTH my tips. So that's very frustrating. Otherwise I love the idea of the gun.
