A little TIP with big results...

[Bill Huber]

I have really been working on using the correct amount of glue, just what is needed and no more. I try to use just enough to get a little squeeze out.

Now the problem is to clean up that little squeeze out.

I have found the best tool for me to clean that squeeze out up.

I have 4 of those little 6 inch stainless steel scales (rulers), they are great for getting that squeeze out. They get right down in the corners and you will not believe just how good they get it.

They are flexible and you can get them just about any place and there is very little if any glue left to clean up after it drys.

No matter how often you lose one, another is bound to be found close by :)

4??? Why 4??? Well Harold, if it's like my shop, it's one buried under my main bench full of stuff, one lost somewhere else in the shop, one that fell behind that previously mentioned bench, which is also against the wall and too heavy to move. Finally, one for my apron pocket so I don't lose it and can actually use it......:p:D

I don't know, I just do, I get them at shows and places like that so I have 4.

6" reluers are like shop pencils, I have a bunch of them just never where I need them!

I usually grab a card scraper but the rules will fit places they don't great tip.

Bill,
I use the same thing, they do work great for that. But I only have 3 right now, and this weekend my Dad was over and said, "that's where all my rules went". None are his and he knows it, but he loses as many as I do.

A good tip for me would be that they make a good measurement tool! They get more use on glue.:D

[Dan Hintz]

Well there's your solution! Glue a few to the side of your workbench... you'll never lose them again.

Actually, I asked hoping you would tell me the reason was because you are unorganized and can never remember where you put stuff. So I wouldn't feel alone...

Well don't feel bad, I can only find one at a time then when I can't fine it I have to go looking all over the place until I find one again.

Thank you. I feel better. :)

The more places one is residing the easier it is to find one when I go looking.
