Glue Containers With The Brush Covers

[UnionCraft]

I know exactly what you're referring to Doug. Every European luxury goods craftsman has at least one of those on their bench. I've seen them with red, green, (and the most common) blue lids. They are produced by Verona-Italy and they are "made in Italy." Yes, something plastic that is not "Made in China!!!"

Anyways, I purchased mine from Ohio Travel Bag. They are $18.75 for the small cement pot and $26.50 for the large ones. I have the large one which could be seen in the Alfred Dunhill video, which I'm sure you've watched a billion times like myself hahahah!

FYI, there is a minimum purchase order of $30 required, so I'd get the large pot and some extra brushes.

If you guys want the best glue pot get one of these. They only expose a small portion of the glue so they don't evaporate nearly as fast as others. If the glue gets a little thick turn it on its back for a few seconds. When they are not being use they should be stored on their back as well. I've tried the Teflon pots, the jar with the brush in the lids and these work far better especially with today's quick drying cements. They are also much cheaper than those Teflon pots. I no longer have to thin my cements using these.

I have these glue pots and I use the for pva (white glue) cements and they work great. I used the Teflon one for contact cement and I don't like them. The don't seal we'll enough for the glue to not dry out. Does contact cement work in these plastic pots? I'm worried that the dried cement around the lip would glue the lid shut.

If you're talking about the ones I use the glue doesn't glue them shut. The glue peels right off of them. I've used them with Masters all purpose, Masters Max Bond, and Renia Colle de Cologne and never had an issue. They seal very well. It is recommended to peel any excess cement off the rim and lid but that is more for a better seal than anything else.

The Teflon pots were the worst and most expensive I've ever used. They are ok with the older more basic cements like Masters all purpose but the more modern glues dry up so fast with even a little bit of air that the glue becomes dried up in no time and I don't like to keep thinning the cements down.

I echo what Billymac says. I use the same one and I use it for fast contact cement. I cannot do without it.. Before I spent a fortune in glue and twice as much in thinner. It is constructed in a smart way, when you do not use it you lay it on the side like on Billymacks pic and the glues vapors keep the brush soft. It also makes the glue thinner again, I wonder how I did manage without it before. It is a must and no other compares to it.

So dried contact cement around the lid won't glue the lid shut? I thought that that was the reason for the Teflon pots since glue won't stick to the lids. I just might have to try this...

Nope it peels right off.

I get them from Frankford leather. You may need an account to order from them. If you need one and can't find one I can order one and ship it to you.
