FastCap, a woodworking product brand, offers a unique glue applicator that makes using powerful adhesives much easier.

Capable of holding a large amount of glue, the 'GluBot' is able to be used for many projects with just one fill, saving on both time and energy. As it's able to be [tightly sealed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-tottle), the glue can be left in the GluBot for storage purposes as well. With a wide opening at the top, and a wide bottom supporting the glue applicator, it ensures that little mess is made as one uses it.

Although FastCap's GluBot was made with woodworking in mind, it's capable of holding a number of different types of glues and solvents. The tip that applies the glue features a [drip-free design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dress-drizz) as well, and comes with replacements in case the adhesive becomes clogged over use.
