TZHunter Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 Where can I find an empty bottle with a built-in brush attached to the screw-on lid. .. for spreading Contact Cement more easily? I have found the contact cement sold in a small jar with brush, but would prefer to purchase additional empty bottles/brushes, and refill with contact cement purchased in quart or gallon. Much Thanks ! Quote
Members Bob A Posted February 8, 2012 Members Report Posted February 8, 2012 I just got one from Springfield Leather although I'm sure others carry a similar bottle. The one I have is 16oz and the brush is adjustable up and down in the lid so you can set it to where you want. You can also get replacement brushes as well. Hope this helps. Bob Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 8, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted February 8, 2012 http://stleather.com/ Down the left side, click "Adhesives", you can get the jar and the rubber cement. I've used it for years. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
TZHunter Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks to both of you, those are exactly what I was looking for and wasn't able to locate !! Love this site. Quote
Members Sovran81 Posted February 9, 2012 Members Report Posted February 9, 2012 I use paper cups and acid brushes for soldering. You learn quickly how much glue to pour into the cup, The brushes are 20 for a buck. Quote
TZHunter Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 I am not familiar with those brushes for soldering, where can they be purchased, or can you provide a link to a picture or more info? Thanks for this inexpensive alternative also. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 9, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted February 9, 2012 Oh, and in case you're about to have these other questions (or someone else is) about S-T Leather ... I buy all of my Fiebing's spirit dyes through them. Years of painless ... no problems. Their kidskin lining (Stock 3777) is beautiful stuff. Lots of available colors (though I always get the brown and/or black), about 1 1/2-2 oz, smooth but strong -- great lining for wallets, clutches, ;bags, other small stuff. Skins are about 5 sq ft each. I have yet to find anyone selling anything this nice for anywhere NEAR this price. I've used their contact cement (permanent) for a long time. It's a bit cheaper than some (and WAY cheaper than Tandy's whatevertheycallit) and you CAN'T pull it apart once it's stuck down. And last but not least, no - I don't work for them, I don't know anyone who does, and I don't get a commission for saying all this Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
TZHunter Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 Well, just by searching on Ebay, I see the type of brush that you are talking about . Where are you able to get them for 20 for a buck, or at least where's the best place you've found to get yours? Thanks! Quote

While I was at lowes yesterday I checked on the price there. $1.50 for 5. Still not to bad for disposable use when doing a couple different glue ups. Quote
Members fortysomething Posted February 9, 2012 Members Report Posted February 9, 2012 Check at Harbor Freight Tools. Just saw them there for $2.99 for a package of 36. Here is a link to the site. http://www.harborfre...lt?q=acid+brush They also have brick-and-mortar stores. If they're near enough you might save shipping. Quote
