FAQs
What types of glue can I use with these tips?
These tips are designed for Deluxe Materials glues such as Roket cyano, Roket Card, and Super’Phatic! glue. They are best suited for liquid glues and cyanoacrylates.
How do I make the tip opening smaller for very fine work?
You can carefully trim the very end of the plastic tip with a sharp hobby knife or small, sharp scissors to create a more precise opening. Always test on a spare piece before applying to your project.
Can I reuse these glue tips?
Yes, these tips are reusable. After each use, wipe off any excess glue. If they become clogged, you can try to clear them with a fine needle. Replace if they become permanently blocked or damaged.
Do these tips fit all glue bottles?
They are designed for specific Deluxe Materials glue bottles. While they may fit some other standard bottle nozzles, compatibility is best guaranteed with the intended Deluxe Materials products.
Are these tips suitable for thick glues?
These tips are best suited for liquid glues and cyanoacrylates. They may not perform optimally with very thick or paste-like adhesives.
What does 'anti-clog' mean for these tips?
The design helps to minimize glue drying and blocking the tip. However, proper cleaning after each use is still recommended to maintain performance.
How many tips are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 6 Roket Glue Tips.
Troubleshooting
Glue not flowing from the tip
Ensure the tip is properly seated on the bottle. Check if the glue inside the bottle has hardened. Try clearing the tip with a fine needle or by gently squeezing the bottle.
Tip is too large for the desired application
Carefully trim the end of the tip with a sharp hobby knife or small scissors to create a finer opening. Test on scrap material first.
Tip is loose on the glue bottle
Gently try to widen the opening of the tip slightly or use a very small piece of tape to create a tighter seal around the bottle's nozzle. Ensure you are using a compatible bottle.
Glue leaks around the base of the tip
Ensure the tip is fully pressed onto the bottle's nozzle. If the nozzle is damaged, consider using a different bottle or adhesive.
