So, the other day, my glue syringe finally gave out. The rubber stopper kept getting caught in the tube. You’ve seen this delightful tool used many times.
It’s Thanksgiving Day, and I need a glue syringe. Did I remember to pick one up last night when I was running pre-crazy-shopping-days errands? No.
Now, the local Michael’s does open at 4PM today. I’m not saying I won’t have to go to the store at some point this weekend, but I am trying to avoid it as much as possible. If Thanksgiving shopping is your thing, that’s great! I wish you good parking and fabulous deals. But, I’d rather not. :D
So, what to do? I gathered my scissors, a spoon, a plastic sandwich bag and the spackling tub. I don’t see any reason this wouldn’t work for glue, but I needed to apply spackling today.
I spooned some spackling into the bag and pushed the material toward one corner leaving the zip-top unsecured. I gave it a slight twist and snipped the corner. Twist some more, and the spackling came out of the tip.
It’s basically a small pastry bag. :]
It took some getting used to and the syringe is easier to fit into tight spaces, but there was enough room for me to work with the bag on this particular area. It worked rather well, and I can keep my sanity avoiding the stores…at least for today.
What I’m not avoiding is a yummy Thanksgiving dinner! Almost time to eat! :D
