Handy Devices

PVC pipe glue or other adhesives often dry out in the open air and can no longer be used just when you need them. Shawn Collins, Tifton, Georgia, preserves the sticky products in a canning jar with a button cap and ring to make it an air-tight container for the glues. Now, the whole can of pipe glue can be used--and that last-second trip to town avoided.
