Won't vaseline degrade some metals?

hmmm...that's a good idea.  I use the weld wood contact cement that comes in cans with the paint can type lid, but i have some older bottles that have the threaded cap with the brush attached I could transfer some into and keep the paint can lid on good and tight and just use out of the threaded bottle.  Thanks for the idea c/o chuck dorsett, but i hadn't seen it before.

This is an old trick for storing opened tins of paint, no need to transfer it to threaded cap bottles unless you specifically want it in those bottles, just turn your tin upside down..... after making sure you got the lid on proper :-)

I use wood filler in my work shop. It comes in a 16oz paint type can. It is stored upside down to prevent evaporation, to the extent the label is installed upside down on the can. That way it reminds you to turn it back onto the cap when finished using. It does seem to work better than the old way.  

Also the SDS sheet for Barge Cement Thinner can be found here.

It is composed of Toluene 50-75%, Hepthane 22-40%, Ethyl acetate 5-15%.

Never thought about it. It might but I was shown this 20+ years ago and I've never had an issue. That being said I go through a 32 ounce can of barge every two months so its not like they are sitting around for a long time.

Gotcha. My can is about half gone so I will give it a shot and race the greasy glory which is Vaseline!
