I like to use baby food jars, because they are small, fit nicely in a glue pot,
have lids through which I drill a hole to hold my gluing brush and have lids to
cover the jar when not in use.  Baby food jars are plendiful, if you know
someone with a buby, and cheap.

We all have our systems, but I have had no problems heating my glue, in a glass
jar, in the microwave.  It helps lass when making up new glue from dry.  It
takes time for all the granules to desolve so the solution is clear.  Water is
then added to get the consistancy wanted.

Thin is good for small parts, thicker is best  with big parts requiring gap
filling and clamping.
