Problem:\u00a0 Unusued Glue, No Cap<\/h3>\n

You have unused glue<\/strong>, and no cap<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Solution:\u00a0 Use a Wire Nut<\/h3>\n

A wire nut has a tiny metal spring that’s designed to create a secure mechanical connection between two or more wires, without requiring welding or soldering.\u00a0 Usually, they are used in electrical applications to create a “splice” – a connection between a primary source and one or more secondary connections that end up wired in parallel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wire nuts come in various sizes, but the “Yellow” and “Red” wire nuts typically fit larger tubes, while the “Orange” and “Blue” wire nuts usually fit smaller glue tubes.\u00a0 You can get a variety pack at your local hardware retailer for a couple of dollars.<\/p>\n

When used on a tube of glue, the metal spiral forms a near-air-tight seal.<\/p>\n

If you spent $5 on a tube of glue, why not protect that investment with a 30 cent wire nut??<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Details<\/h3>\n

When this happens:<\/p>\n

\"Glue_01\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Try these:<\/p>\n

\"Glue_02\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On larger tubes, the red or yellow might fit.\u00a0 Twist until tight:<\/p>\n

\"Glue_03\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, your glue is safe and sound, and won’t dry out.<\/p>\n
