Brush with cap / Cement Dauber Applicator
The item shown in the image is a replacement cap and dauber applicator, commonly known as a Delta Dauber Cap, used for applying solvent cements, primers, glues, and adhesives from small-to-medium sized utility cans.
These caps are typically sold separately to replace a lost or dried-out applicator, or to ensure you have a fresh dauber for a new can of solvent cement or primer.
Key Details:
- Purpose: Applies an even coating of material to pipes and fittings for a strong, leak-free joint.
- Material: Features a steel cap and stem, usually with a wool or polyester application ball (dauber).
- Sizing: The specific cap size (e.g., 1-3/4" diameter) fits different can sizes, typically 4 oz, 8 oz (1/2 pint), 16 oz (pint), and 32 oz (quart) cans.

Pro Tips for Professional Results
- Can Compatibility: Ensure the cap opening diameter matches your utility can exactly (usually 1-1/4" or 1-3/4" delta style).
- Chemical Resistance: Confirm the felt material and metal stem are compatible with your specific adhesive to prevent breakdown.
- Prevent Drying: Always wipe excess liquid from the neck of the can before capping securely to ensure an airtight seal and prevent the contents from hardening.
- Application Best Practice: Use the minimum amount of product required for a successful bond to avoid excess solvent exposure and waste.
Warnings and Disclaimers
- Vapor Hazards: When using highly volatile chemicals (like PVC cement), ensure adequate ventilation and keep open flames away from the work area.
- Seal Integrity: A loose cap will allow highly volatile cements and glues to evaporate rapidly, rendering the product useless. Ensure a tight seal after every use.
- Safe Handling: Keep all chemicals and applicators out of reach of children. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of the liquid product being applied.
