Re: Glue Test in Cold Weather

[bdolph <bdolph@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Love that Liquid Nail.  Whenever I open a new tube and have some left
over, I squeeze it into a air tight glass jar and then just apply some
with the end of a slot screwdriver anytime needed.  It lasts forever as
long as you keep it sealed.  It you use it make sure everything is in
place correctly, because once it dries that is it. Not like silicone,
which you can usually cut away if needed.
