Also new from Sweep are these flexible nozzle for glue bottles. The 2 step neck design is usable on all our Sweep glue bottles and thanks to the precision molding work, this nozzle keeps glue from leaking. If it gets clogged, you can trim the nozzle back a little at a time for extended life of glue.
