Sticky problem : fix or throw away?

[ToughButterCup]

My favourite glue dispenser : I store it in my container, and this year for some reason the contents have gone hard - not all of it, just the bit in the pouring spout.

 

 

I've tried leaving it on the heated flooring for a day to warm up, and putting it in very hot water, hoping it would melt ... but.

 

Any way of dissolving the glue that's in there, or do I just have to replace it?

If it is PVA glue, just keep dunking it in hot water, and poke something down the hole.

No, it's the D4 I had left over from gluing the floor boards to the joists ...

I would still try very hot water and a stick.

 

Or isopropanol, or even meths.

Try some foam gun cleaner maybe, it's acetone I think. Might soften it.

Yes, and epsilongreedy, then see if we can get this topic up to 1000 pages.

And you will still have a constipated pot.
