ca glue-a tip about the tips

For some years I've been using ammo boxes - they are just about air tight and
will hold all the smelly stuff, including scratch cover, glue, etc., and I
found that  I can also get the large can of Protek in there if I bash the
cover of the box down hard once, sort of mushing down the cap on the Protek
can.  You can probably get ammo boxes at Army-Navy or surplus stores.

I also found a hermetically sealed (large) box that holds all the sizes of
wire I need to restring a piano, with a set of standard bass strings, too.  It
was a case for a bomb sight (got it from a surplus house long ago).

CA glue can be most distructive and well as constructive.

Dave Sanderson's solutions are excellent for transporting CA glue.  (I have
it all over the inside of my case!)

For shop use I like to take a three or four inch length of tubing (from Ed)
and cut a hole in the tip that is a tight fit for the tube.  Pulled through
just enough to leave a 1/8" of tube in the tip will provide a long term tip
that can be clipped back, 1/8" at a time, that opens up the tube for next use.

I have been thinking that a little box to hold glue, accel., would be useful.

One other means is to cut off the tip of the tip and force the tube into the
tip just far enough to be able to grasp it with needle nose pliers and force
the rest of the tube into the bottle.  THis can be capped again and again if
kept clean.
