    Oops!

    I have often wondered why people go to the trouble of making/buying something to keep their glue bottles in, well now I know! :anguished:



    I think I will go and see if I have anything lying about to make a glue bottle safe. :smiling5:

    You're not a proper modeller until you've done it. :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy:

      Andy, the only safety measure I tested as 99% effective is to keep the glue bottle away from me... :tongue-out3::smiling6: . Unfortunately I always end into that 1%...:rolling::smiling3:.

        Plastic caps from spray starch & PAM work for me. Center for bottle & used wheel weights around the outer.Pretty hard to tip over.

                    I always have 2 bottles of TET in hand - I have a horror of spilling one on the day before a holiday weekend!

                      I wish I could express just how much this pleases me.

                        I've not done it - but then I don't use bottled glue, just the old fashioned tubes - so I can't be a 'proper modeller':sleeping2:
