Hi David, Mike,
I'm also in Wisconsin I carry Titebond 4oz., Protek 4oz, and I've found a
very sturdy CA bottle by Loctite it's a gel that dispenses a drop at a time
by squeezing the sides of the bottle. I've gotten it at Walmart and home
centers for under $3. I don't use CA a lot, just for the occasional cracked
flange or on Kawai's styran componants. If I feel I'll need my cold hide
glue on a particular day, I'll throw it in my bag unless it's very cold out,
then I carry it in an inside pocket of my coat, in a baggie. Mike why do you
carry the PVCE?

Mike
