Question 1

Do you think it can handle tough glues like Barge contact cement?

Accepted Answer

I don't use any contact cement without the use of either a trowel or roller.  I've Barges in the past for laminates (GREAT STUFF) but I think it's too thick to remain stable in this container.  I use 2 different types of Titebond wood glue in mine and I use the small acid brushes with it.  Never had a problem with dry out - have one unit that's 12 years old and still in use today.  Just my opinion.  If you don't have one of these Big Horn glue units - they're well worth the $$.  Hope this helps.

Question 2

How are you supposed to fill this with glue?

Accepted Answer

Put the glue, and thinning agent, in the pot opening -where the brush rests as shown in the photo. The cone, as seen sitting alongside, goes over the opening covering the opening and the brush handle, thus preventing the glue inside the pot and the glue on the brush bristles from drying out. The thinning agent can be added to the pot, lid placed over the opening, and the pot shaken to mix. The plastic of the pot prevents glue from sticking to it permanently. One can merely pull off or scrape off the glue with one's fingers. When the pot is not being used, it can be set up on its backend, opposite the rounded front opening, which minimizes the glue's surface area compared to when it rests on its bottom thus slowing the evaporation and subsequent thickening of the glue. The glue only slowly thickens, but one only has to add more thinning agent to bring the glue back to the desired viscosity. I have used other style glue pots, but have returned to this style as it is more effective and efficient.

Question 3

Can the Big Horn 19040 30-Ounce Glue Container with Brush be used with a solvent based glue?  Thank you.

Accepted Answer

I have only used Elmers White glue in it but it works great.  It is made out of a heavy plastic.  Never tried a solvent in it.
