Glue Bottles

[Quiche]

Has anybody got any advice on how to stop glue bottle lids sticking?

I seem to be getting through loads of glue as I can't open the bottles!

Thanks x

Run some Vasaline around the thread on the neck of the bottle and this will prevent the lids from glueing shut! Hope that helps x

I will use that tip. xx

I do the same but using cuticle oil - seems to work for me! x

Hi
Yes cuticle oil/vasaline same idea really just stops the glue from getting into the thread of the neck of the bottle and keeps the lids from stuck together with glue. I do this with my EE adhesive all the time and it works for me. xx

I prefer brush on adhesive for this reason.

Fab idea!
I'm only now starting out, i haven't had the problem of lids getting stuck yet but i have gone to use my glue and the whole bottle has been rock solid, i have sometimes gone a couple of weeks between 1 treatment and the next so just wanted to check that its normal for the glue to solidify?

I just buy bullet size tubes and leave the lid off. I keep it upright by slipping it into the springs on my lamp. Voila!
