OOPS !

I Know we've all had Those, Right?

       Well, here's my latest. Remember I told you all that I keep bottles of ALEEN'S Tacky Glue in both my shop and on the worktable in my room? Well,  Iwent to use the Big bottle in the garage. Hmm. Wouldn't come out of the Nozzle. Removed the top and nozzle only to be confronted with hardened glue! The Nozzle was packed tight! So was the first half inch of the contents in the bottlel Have you ever tried to clean up White Glue that was like rubber? Peeling it off the contents inside was an interesting maneuver .Got er done though!

       It seems odd doesn't it? I found the culprit when I went to put the Nozzle and Top back on the bottle. I always make sure my lids and caps are secure. Well, the Top cracked all around one side at the very edge between the top and the nozzle basewhere it meets the threaded side of the top. A hairline crack, that I bet came from the bottle sitting in the garage shop during those 104 degree days! So, a bit of advice. Don't leave ANY Glues or Solvents in your garage shop if you live in the Southwestern United States, or Anywhere else that gets that hot. Australia and New Zealand are you listening?
