I have a question. I'm getting frustrated with my glue. It seems fine when first opened but after a while it gets so thick I can't get it to come out of the bottles! I've resorted to taking off the top and digging some out with a craft stick but it's still too thick. Got any ideas?Puzzled,

Hi Kathi,
When I use the bottles glue, I put a few drops of glue on a lid of a jar and I close the bottle, I then work with that bit of glue, I work with a toothpick. When I use the jar with glue I do always between using the lid upside down on, so it can not dry. Still my glue gets thicker by drying, when I finish my job I put a few drops of water on the glue and closed the jar. Mabe you can add some drops of water and stir.
Sorry for my bad english,

Marles is right. The glue that you are using can be thinned with water....Add it carefully and I would take the part that you want to thin out of the bottle. Good luck. I have the same problem as I tend to leave the top off.
Casey and Marlies beat me to it. These are all water based so a few drops at a time and you should be all set. :)
Yes I was going to say the same thing. I add water to mine as well but only a little at a time as you don't want it too watery. I use the lids off margerine containers to pour some glue on to, and work with that. I also apply the glue with toothpicks. I never leave the lids open on my glue bottles as it drys too fast. I also have a small jar that I put the glue container in upside down so that I dont have to shake the glue down everytime I need it.
