Loctite Products has added Wood Worx, a yellow woodworkers’ glue (aliphatic resin), to its line of adhesives. What makes this product special is the plastic bottle.

Typically, wood glues are easy to squeeze out when the bottle is full or nearly so. But squeezing glue out of a nearly empty bottle is another story. To speed up the process, the Wood Worx bottle is designed to lie on its side during a glue-up, resting on a flat, tapered section of its otherwise cylindrical shape. When on its side, the bottle tips toward the nozzle, so the glue is always at the ready. Also, the nozzle is positioned off center, placing it adjacent to the flat section and near the lowest point on the bottle when it’s sideways. A cap threads on the nozzle, making everything airtight and spillproof. And, to help eliminate lost caps (my shop has dozens somewhere), the top includes a cap holder.
