May sound stupid, but what's wrong with Barge's thinner?

He was looking for it a couple comments up I told him where to look.

Well I finally got this glob of glue out of the container. Soaking in thinner didn't do much, but made a mess. So to plan B, Took container and placed in in the Texas Sunshine for several days. Really cooked it good. It became a solid mass of glob with some flexibility. A flat tip screwdriver and some elbow grease, Started at the edges and worked the mass into a ball form. Lifted off the sides and bottom with no residue. Nice and clean inside now. A lesson was learned here. Do more projects, Use different glue container with an airtight lid of some sort. Thanks for the advice guys.

I've used contact adhesive for years in my business... we buy it by the case (4 gallons per case) when a brush dried out, I would put it into a fresh jar of contact adhesive and it would loosen up by the next day.  I'm not sure if this will help you now? (Looking at that picture...)

I bought this glue keeper a few months ago for 14 bucks on ebay...there are many like it there and on amazon similarly priced.  So far, so good, I have no complaints and its keeping the glue and brush fresh.

I have the same glue pot. I don't use it, garbage. I am going to try something else.
