No he does actually mean "Wee" bottles.  After Eons of inhaling green stuff and Cyanoacrylates fumes he now literally "wees" superglue. This can be a little difficult as if he does not "shake" properly he gets stuck to the inside of his Y fronts.  It does however save him a fortune when gluing figure together.

I am sure if you asked him nicely FSN he would send you a sample to try! :)

There was an old harlot from Kew
Who filled up her inside with glue.
As she said, with a grin,
"If they pay to get in,
They'll pay to get out of me too."

How do you stop the thin little nozzle from blocking up?

By dabbing it with a bit of kitchen towel......OR pushing a 0.5 mm pice of brass rod down it.....Or simply chopping off the very end of the nozzle.

I have to use the stuff that does not produce any fumes so cheapo stuff is out for me. :(

There was an old couple from Delhi
Spent a lifetime belly to belly
because one night they used Araldite
instead of petroleum jelly
Don't buy your daughters a pony, buy them heroin instead, its cheaper and ultimately less addictive.

I do think some of these are very close to delete.

To attempt to re-rail the thread (and thinking of Pendraken tanks and animals), I offer:

There once was a fellow named Lew
Who incessantly used superglue
To his forehead was stuck
Three goats and a duck
And to his thumb a T thirty-two


Encumbered by Idjits, we pressed on

When buying a new superglue
There are several things that I do
Check value and price
and, done in a trice,
Block nozzle with needle or screw
There are 100 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who can work from incomplete data

Loctite 454.  Prices vary enormously.  20gr tubes on ebay are good value.  Always used to the last drop.
