Spreading Woodworking Glue

Using an old toothbrush to spread woodworking glue Recently, I went to glue up a woodworking project and realized I was out of glue brushes. Instead of driving to the hardware store to buy some new ones, I decided to try an old tooth brush.

It worked great. The bristles pushed the glue around well. And the brush was wide enough to cover the entire edge in one pass.
