Wallace, I use an old plastic coffee perculator, the kind with the cylindrical knob on top you grab to remove the lid. You cut the knob off with a hacksaw to allow access to the glue bottle which is resting on top of a veggie can in the water. The small hole in the lid prevents the glue from skimming over. I use two sizes of bottles and cans. A 4-1/2" with a baby bottle and a 3-1/2" with a honey or cherry jar. Use an old beer can opener (church key) just under the top of cans to allow the bubbles to get out when the water is heating. The warming temperature of the percolator varies between 135 and 150 depending on the unit you get so get several at garage sales and flea markets and label them with the temperature. The one I use most stays around 140. The most I paid for a percolator was $5. Warren Wallace F.
