In visiting with Tim Tucker the other day the topic of punky wood and stabilizers came up. I mentioned I used with some success Minwax Wood Hardener to which he commented about how messy it was to use so I shared with him my solution to that issue. These applicator bottles all but eliminate the sticky mess when applying that liquid and I feel would serve with other liquid applications as well. There is a screw on cap for the nozzle that screws on to each 16.9 0unce bottle. Tim suggested I share this tip on AAW so here it is for those of you who may find it useful.
