I’ve spilled Tamiya Extra Thin Quick Setting twice. Then I bought a DSPIAE 3 slot glue rack. It’s aluminum and spill proof. Luckily the glue didn’t reach any model parts, but it erased the printing on my cutting mat!

:wink:

This Tamiya M26 Pershing saved itself on Capt. Clumzie’s workbench just this morning…

…will have to add a liquid cement holder to the travel kit.

Now THAT’S something you don’t see every day! Close, so close to destruction. You’re a lucky man, Wade Buff! Go out and buy a Lotto ticket.
