Abstract: A system for dispensing and applying an adhesive to a work piece is provided which includes a flexible tote elevated above an underlying surface to provide a gravity head for feeding the adhesive to a spray gun for admixture with compressed air so that the adhesive can be applied in a predetermined pattern. Additional features of the invention call for a fitting disposed in the adhesive conduit to reduce the flow path for the adhesive being dispensed, and a valve to vent the system of unwanted gas such that adhesive flow from the flexible tote is continuous, uniform and uninterrupted.
