suitable "cooler" for glues, lubes, etc. in car

[David M. Porritt]

I have one and they work pretty well.  We've mainly used it to keep food
cold while we're on a trip.  I think you'd have to do a bit of driving
during the day when it is plugged in or you might find your battery dead
after a hard day at the office.

Has anyone tried one of those refrigerator/coolers that plug into your
cigarette lighter?  I've thought about getting one of those.  I'd like
to know any experiences others have had with one.
Joy!

Yes, precisely.  I particularly like it for felt and leather, because it

doesn't dry hard and stiff like Titebond, and it adheres well to lots of

different serfaces.
