the hot pot works the same. I use a flattened hammer shank like Dean,
through the top of the pot, where I cut it off ala Spurlock. Dipping it into
a babyfood jar which is suspended on three screws screwed through the side
of a pineapple slices can which is galvanized, it won't rust out on me. I
have flux brushes for larger jobs. I find it only takes a few minutes to
wash everything out with hot water for re-use. If you are going to use it
soon, 24 to 48 hours you can refrigerate the glue in the babyfood jar and
re-heat it.
A friend had a glue pot that had rusted out on him which is what convinced
me to use Bill's idea.
