Anyone know a supplier of small size wood glue? I like corner weld and was hoping something similar available.
 
We buy the gallon and put into the dollar store 8 oz ketchup & mustard bottles.
or you can buy the quarts or the 16 oz.
 
Thanks for the input. I was actually looking for sample size containers. I have some customers that need some just to join a single frame.
 
Pick up come small empty cone tip bottles at Wal-Mart in the craft area.
 
Did you know that you can use Elmer's Wood Glue to deep clean your vinyl records? Take one of your scratchier sounding ones, spread it with a thick layer of glue (stopping 1/2" from the label) and let it dry for two days. When it's thoroughly dry, carefully peel it off in one piece, if possible, and your record will sound almost like new!

LOL, Jim - I have saved a lifetime supply of them (at least for my own lifetime). The black ones with the grey lids make for great airtight paint storage and I use the clear ones for beads and findings.

Stick some of your glue into a film canister...

I saved those for years, because they are almost perfect for convenient mixing & storage of inks/paints for calligraphic pen work. A couple of my photographer-customers (back when we had plenty of them) saved their containers for me, but I kept only the clear ones.

They're not air-tight. So, if you expect to keep the glue from drying within a couple of weeks, be sure to run a length of good plastic tape tightly around the top to seal it.
 
I still have a bunch of the yellow metal Kodak cans with the red screw on tops. I guess I should hold onto those as antiques.
 
Jim, the black ones with the grey lids are pretty danged near air-tight - I have mixed paints in some of these that I have kept for years! The clear ones are not air tight at all.
 
I agree about the black and gray ones. I have used those for custom-mixed acrylic colors. I still have a few sitting around somewhere.
:cool: Rick
 
They've had them so long that all they have left in them are stems and seeds Mark.
