Nozzle Wedge

The pull-up nozzle on some glue bottles helps dispose the glue and keeps it from hardening when not in use. But dried glue usually Accumulates inside the nozzle, making it hard to open the nozzle. 1 often resort to using pliers to get it open. But that tends to tear up the nozzle, eventually making it unusable.

To solve this problem, f built the simple tool shown in the photo at nght to help lift up the nozzle. The tool has a &lot at one end that's sized to fit the ntuzle. If s long so you can use it as a le\-er to easily lift the m.wlc without doing any damage to it.

The noz?Je liftuig tool can be qukkly built from a piece of ^i- ihick fwrdwood, Start by drilling a hole at one end ttte sunc size as. the nozzle of the bottle.

Hico use your band saw to cut away the waste to form the notch. Then ait a bevel ;»t the end with die notch, as shoivn in die drawing below Finally, round over all edges of the wedge with sandpaper.

Hie Winner!

Congratulations to Stephen Ehrich of Louisville, Kentucky. His tip on making a miter clamping jig was selected as winner of the Porter-Cable router just like the one shown at the right. The jig makes it easy to clamp up a single miter joint and hold it in position until the glue dries.

To find out how you could win a Porter-Cobfe router, check out the information above. Your tip just might be a winner.
