Members billymac814 Posted February 21, 2013 Members Report Posted February 21, 2013 Oh and those Teflon glue pots are a big waste of money, if anyone disagrees I have two Ill sell. Its good that glue doesn't stick to them because your glue will turn into a brick over a long weekend. They might be ok for the older type cements but the modern cements evaporate way faster.

Trox Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 I bought a new one two days ago to use for white glue. It is not necessary to use this type of container for white glue, but I think it is more practical. It has no maker name on the box or the instruction, its for sale in a couple of places here in Oslo. It looks (or feels) like it is made in Italy, because they normally do not brand their stuff that often (and Italian is the first language in the instruction). It warrants the sealing for five years. I often buy my glue in one liter boxes, even when this are meant as temporary containers they keep the glue better than the original box do with ten pairs of rubber gloves over the lid. I have had a container half full of 30 seconds fast contact cement untouched for several month and the glue is still as new. A small one on 0,4 liter will do just fine if you buy one liter boxes of glue or less. The container works best when it contains more glue than air of course.

Members SteelheadFineGoods Posted February 26, 2013 Members Report Posted February 26, 2013 I'm familiar with Barge but considering trying Master. Is there much difference between Master and Barge? Are there other cements that one might suggest? Quote Steelhead Flickr Instagram Tumblr

Are there other cements that one might suggest? Barge and Nasters All purpose are definitely a different consistency but they work pretty similarly. The newer barge is Tolulene free so its a little better for you than the All purpose Masters but I prefer the All purpose as its a little easier to work with I think. I use Renia Colle de Cologne. Its a German Cement and is very high quality and it has no Tolulene and no MEK so its safer than some others. Its a very strong cement as well. Quote www.mccabescustomleather.com
