Hello Neighbor,  I would like to know if anyone is using an alternative glue pot container? The standard one from Tandy, and other suppliers i've seen used seems a little on the costly side. $30 - $42.     The brush applicator in my Barge can busted off. Thinking on drilling hole in top cap and using JB to attach it back. A picture of your container would perhaps give me an alternative solution.  thanks in advance.

I use that slightly pricey teflon thing.  It does seem a bit much paying $40 for a metal cup ;)  But they're about indestructable.  I've had at least one for ... a long time.  Reminds me.. I got one I need to put back together IF I can find my glue gun.  The down side of owning properties is that the wife sometimes thinks it's okay to "borrow" tools...

Anyway... I'm a bit of a clean-freak.  So every so often, I knock the top off the glue pots.. then hot glue 'em back on.  Nice 'n' clean again.  Now that I think about it.. might just be easier to  replace it every so often!

I got the same one pictured above from Tandy. I put some Masters glue in it and it dried out. The brush is hard as a rock. As far as I am concerned, It is a waste of money.

I've recently started using the glue pot I found at Busy Bee Tools.  I ditched the wooden brush and use the smaller ones pictured below that I found at Canadian Tire.  They are cheap enough to be disposable, but the glue pot does such a great job at keeping air out that the brush so far after two weeks is still great.  Very happy with this set up.

I've seen those glue pots, and wondered how good/bad they were.   Tempted to buy one, but never got round to it yet.
