    Abstract: Glue bottle anti-clog caps are provided. The anti-clog cap has a body with a mounting section for attaching the body to a glue bottle. The body of the anti-clog cap has a dispensing section that includes a central lumen extending from the second mounting end. The body of the anti-clog cap also has a tip section with a support rib protruding from an outlet of the dispensing section. The tip has a tip plug protruding from the support rib. The anti-clog cap has a nozzle that mates to the body and a tip orifice aligned with the tip plug of the body. The tip section is configured to allow the free flow of glue through the cap.
