However, I've devised a way of = keeping it working. (it's still the pits if you are trying to "force" some glue = into a small crack! My answer to that problem, is to transfer some to a = cheapie Elmers glue bottle. the little one with the screw nozzle.) Oh, I digress. The method I have is: A piece of scrap wood with a 1/2" = hole drilled in it. The nozzle fits snuggly into the hole, thus keeping the = glue "at the tip". When applying the glue, I have a wet rag setting in a = plastic lid, on the bench and I close the tip by pushing down on the rag and = wiping. This keeps the glue tip clear, thus avoiding the "breaking" problem!<G> Joe Garrett, R.P.T.

The only down-side that I've found, is that it is best to let it cure a = full 24-36 hours before attempting to put major stress on the joint, such as planing, etc. For those of you who haven't tried it, I do recommend it.
