If I don't use all that I mix up. Can I just let it cool and heat it back up?

On classicals I do my braces as rub joints, so no clamps.

Filippo

All of them? Or just the fans?

I've had a Hold-Heet pot for six or seven years with nary a hiccup. I love it. Heat a Pyrex cup of water to about 160 degrees in the microwave, pour it in the Hold Heet pot. Toss in your glue bottle and in 30" everything's at 140 and ready to go.

I like Stephen's hot wax pot, looks like it's pretty well made.

So many possibilities for a reply...


Yeah, like perfect glue joints and no hair sticking out of your Speedo, what's not to like?

I use a Parent's Choice bottle warmer with an adjustable heat control. A good source for them is a consignment shop for baby stuff...(strollers, playpens, clothes, etc).
