I sourced tubes years ago from a manufacturer in Canada but you had to buy 10,000 to start. Steve ------------------------------------------- Original Message: Sent: 3/3/2025 9:10:00 AM From: Rebecca Gridley Subject: RE: Nozzle for Paraloid tubes Hi Steve - Could you share where you have sourced these from? I have had difficulty finding them myself. I have a precious few left of the type you recommend and teach with, with the very fine, pointed, white plastic applicator nozzle that screws on. I believe I picked them up from a colleague at AIC many years ago following a talk (@Ariel O'Connor was that you?). I was able to find some with an integrated aluminum applicator years ago (similar to this <https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Stock-5ml-high-quality-white-plain_1600524697692.html>), but it was a shorter nozzle with a rounded end and wider hole, which was not great for thin break edges!

I have thousands of tubes and nozzles for B-72. Please contact me directly: [email protected] <[email protected]> Stephen Koob Original Message: Sent: 2/27/2025 4:34:00 AM From: Caroline Oliver Subject: Nozzle for Paraloid tubes Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had a UK source of nozzles that would fit on a small paint tube? I'm making my own Paraloid B72 adhesive (thanks to Stephen Koob's instructions) and have aluminium tubes with a 7mm diameter opening. However I would like to have an applicator type nozzle on it (like the HMG tubes) to make it easier to use on site, but can't seem to find any.
