Posted by Seamonster on Wednesday, November 3, 2004 4:24 PM I use an old Windex bottle for covering large areas, but I find the spray a little coarse and it spreads over a wide area. For fine work, an old hairspray bottle seems to provide a finer more controlled spray. I use them only for wet water or alcohol/water mix, not for glue. I'd get glue all over everything with a spray bottle! For that I use an old carpenter's glue bottle. It's got a line drawn at the halfway point so I can mix the white glue and water in it 50:50. For more precise applications I use a 60 ml syringe and for even more precise applications, a 10 ml syringe (without the needles, of course!) and pour the diluted glue into them. I've found that the glue will stay in the syringes for a long time without becoming hard.
