Yes constantly closing the bottle of Plastruct glue was a pain and one time while wearing reading glasses I accidently knocked the bottle over and glue almost got all over a subassembly set aside. That was the reason for looking for another glue. A bottle that Mr.Clumsy here won't tip it over !

Steve,
I did that many yrs. ago.....but learned from My mistake. For many moons now...I have little blocks of wood 2'' square and 3'' square 1'' thick with a hole in the center that the bottle fits into (1 5/8'' for Plastruct bottles) never tipped over another of anything. Cut on My drill press.
Frank & Steve - I've said elsewhere here how useful I find DeWalt 4-1/2" trigger clamps to be. When I open a bottle of paint or Plastruct solvent cement, I FIRST squeeze a clamp on its base so it's nearly impossible to kock it over. Take it from your ol' friend Paul, those things can be some of your very best friends.
Ole' Friend Paul,
Those clamps along with c-clamps are usually holding other project pieces.....LOL.
I normally have all kinds of projects going on at the same time. I'm never bored with nothing to do.......ask My 8 Grandkids.....with 6 of them boys and into RC Trucks/cars and Grandpa, can fix/paint anything....LOL,LOL
Hey Frank, nice big rig. Sooo clean!!!
Steven
Thank You Steven,
Although it was not so clean when I started......I built it for My younger Son (It is a RC 1/14 scale kit) back in 94' who is 38 now. He asked Me if I would rebuild it for one of His Son's.......of course I couldn't say no. LOL...
A pic' of how it looked completely dis-assembled with paint stripped off, ready for primer.......
After running it a few times....He built a Plexiglass case for it with trailer attached and sits on a shelf in His two Son's bedroom......only to be used when Dad is home.......He's learning Boyo! LOL.
PS: Didn't mean to hi-jack Your thread TOM.....
