If you can get $40 work of glue in one of those pots, you're buying your glue at the wrong place.  I get a whole gallon for around $40.  

Those glue pots are for people that use a lot of glue on a regular basis.  I did like JLS and ditched the pot but still is the brush.  I keep the brush stuck in the top of a gallon can. By the time the can is empty, the top is a mess, but I can throw it away and start with a new can.  I'll add thinner occasionally to keep the glue workable.  I also keep an old quart can around, the kind with the brush applicator on the lid, and fill it about a third full and regularly add thinner to it.  I use that for applications where the bigger brush is too big.  I also use cheap little disposable paint brushes for really small glueing jobs.  For years I wanted one of those glue pots, and then once I got one I decided they were way over rated.
