You might try Hobby Lobby or Michael's for small bottles that have conical
spouts with the "snap" cap end like on most 50/50 epoxy bottles.

S & W plastics. Montclair,CA (Most plastics variety stores carry
bottles).

You are almost better off buying the glue in the bottles at retail.

Stop it!

It is sucking me in . . .

I'm going to be assisting with several dozen kids making rockets at the end of
the month.  I can buy a giant bottle of wood glue for about $8, but then I
don't have any smaller "Elmer's School Glue" sized dispenser bottles.  Anybody
know if there are any such small 'glue' bottles (empty, of course) available
somewhere for purchase?  Preferably the kinds with the ogive end, instead of
the flattened end that is so prevalent on the wood glue bottles these days...

SIG, the model airplane company, sells their empty glue bottles as “primer”
bottles. Not primer as in paint, but primer as in containing some model
airplane fuel to squirt into the carburetor to help get the engine started.

The bottles have conical tips, not flattened.

Although you might try Hobby Lobby first, as mentioned elsewhere. Years ago
when I was looking for some small empty bottles, Michael’s didn’t have any
suitable for glue dispensing, and Hobby Lobby wasn’t in this area yet.

Also, you could try a store that sells beauty salon supplies.

I've been using "Boston" bottles from Consolidated Plastics for some
time. If you buy enough of them, they're almost cheap enough to be
considered disposable.

I use them for epoxy, not white glue. With the round dispenser tip cut
to the right size. you can make an immaculate epoxy fillet with ease.

The Dollar stores around here sell them 6/$1.  Try your area.
