Any ideas about containers for nail adhesive

[Carole Lindsay]

Please dont laugh at this but i've got a number of nail adhesives where the plastic of the bottle is so hard that i'm not strong enough to squeeze out the adhesive. Its not that they are gummed up coz they are brand new! I'm reluctant to just bin them but can anybody suggest a container i could transfer them to to use them. I thought about using an empty nail enamel bottle but not sure what the glue would do to the brush!

adhesive would make the brush hard as rock! I know exactly what you mean and once put the bottle in my mouth to clamp down where my fingers were too weak and managed to squirt adhesive in my mouth too - yuk (BTW that was ages ago :o ) try putting a large safety pin through the top so you make the hole larger for the adhesive to come out but be careful coz it can come quickley!! This may help otherwise call your chosen distrib and see if they have any ideas!! I'm not sure what products you use but if it is B/S I'm sure they will help!

Take the plunge! :lol: :lol: :lol: I was right about the grip on the file .... I'm right about other stuff too!! Gotta try these thngs.

Usually it gets clogged because some dry adeshive is blocking the small hole. I just cut this small bit out (with a clipper) and it works just fine. Just make sure you only cut the tiny extra bit on top

LoL Carole, Versatility at its best
Yep Fabric# build and boost can and are both used to adhere tips..........they are all different viscosities of EC Resin...........
Boost can be used just like Gelbond can.......

I use Boost with my french tips, and the bit that squishes out( technical term for excess resin) gets worked into the little step and helps to start up the apex building................

And the Fabric# system even beat OPI wrap system at Excel 2004......and John Hauk was using it, ........Fabric# placed in the top 3 with a 1st and a 3rd............OPI wrap got 4th..................

Cheers Ruth for the explanation (and the sales pitch!!! :biggrin: ). Now i understand what Geeg meant! She did make me laugh tho!! Until such time as my current activator and resin run out (which could be the year 2010 judging by the size of the bottle of activator!!) i wont be investing in Fabric# but hey girls, keep giving me the info on it!!! On the bright side, i have managed to wedge off (another technical term for prizing off!) the thin part of the bottle so now have an adhesive with a lovely big opening that i can dip something into, such as a plastic extender tip. Now all i need is something to attach to the extender tip to give me a handle, hmmmmm.... i wasnt a girl guide and never got a Blue Peter badge so any suggestions (keep 'em clean!!) would be appreciated
