I have been using baby-food jars, but = plastic would have that advantage. I usually use hot hide glue for small = work - felt, dampers, action stuff, etc. so I am often mixing up small = quantities of glue. A small insert is the ticket here - hence baby-food = jars. However, a smaller jar can tend to move about in the glue pot. I = usually place a ceramic tea cup into my glue pot and then put the = baby-food jar in the tea cup. Water goes in the liner and the tea cup. = Thermometer tip goes into the tea cup water. That way the baby-food jar = stays centered in the pot, and when I put my stick into the pot for more = glue, I get glue every time rather than a cleaned stick! Oh, and I also = made a lid for my pot and put a slot in it for the stick and a small = hole for the thermometer - and I use the rheostat to maintain = appropriate temperature.
