Well, Seems that I got side tracked with other chores around the house. Been busy and have not been out to the shop lately. Went to use the glue and behold, the brush applicator was stuck in the pot. Glue was thicker than dried molasses. Darn near solid substance.  ( Barge glue of course ) Could someone please advise me on how to clean this mess. Are there any chemicals that would dissolve glue? Any Help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.  First I have to figure out how to get the top off. Thanks. How do you guys keep your glue fresh?

The top is just glued on. They come off pretty easy as they are not glued well. I think that's where a lot of air gets in and dries them out. I got mine out and scraped out the glue. Haven't gotten around to putting back together as I don't have another brush head. Figuring on using silicon to glue it back on when I do.

If it hasn't completely hardened you might be able to save it with cement thinner. Pour some in and let it set for a while.

Thanks for the tips, I have it soaking in Paint thinner now. Will update on the results. I'm on day one now with the soak. Couldn't find Barge reducer anywhere.

You can get it at Springfield or Weaver leather. And on Amazon.

Lacquer thinner will soften it. BUT it won't make it usable again. If want to just get it out and throw away it would probably work. IMHO

Try lacquer thinner. Smell is strong though.
