Cleaning Glue Pots

That sounds like a great idea Tom. I have been using baby-food jars, but =
plastic would have that advantage. I usually use hot hide glue for small =
work - felt, dampers, action stuff, etc. so I am often mixing up small =
quantities of glue. A small insert is the ticket here - hence baby-food =
jars. However, a smaller jar can tend to move about in the glue pot. I =
usually place a ceramic tea cup into my glue pot and then put the =
baby-food jar in the tea cup. Water goes in the liner and the tea cup. =
Thermometer tip goes into the tea cup water. That way the baby-food jar =
stays centered in the pot, and when I put my stick into the pot for more =
glue, I get glue every time rather than a cleaned stick! Oh, and I also =
made a lid for my pot and put a slot in it for the stick and a small =
hole for the thermometer - and I use the rheostat to maintain =
appropriate temperature.

  I stumbled onto a great little trick a few years ago. Instead of =
letting the glue be in contact with the glue pot I found that using a =
plastic insert ( like a cream cheese container) fits perfectly in the =
glue pot and contains the mess to the plastic container. The other great =
feature is that when the glue dries it doesn't stick to the plastic. =
Simply pull the dried glue out and the plastic container is ready for =
use again.
