CA glue bottle life

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi all,
A couple of things that help when using CA.
Keep all the tips and caps that do not get clogged for use on other bottles!
After using on a job and  before capping the bottle for the last time, tap
the bottle on a hard surface to encourage the glue to run down the tip
inside the bottle.
Wipe off the outside of the tip with a paper towel ( move quickly or the
paper may stick to the tip ) and cap the bottle. This will help keep glue
from building up on the outside of the tip. I also at this time squeeze the
bottle to get any glue out of the tip
Never store glue in other than an upright position as the glue will run to
the tip and set up there quicker than in the rest of the bottle.
