Tying Tip - could save you a big mess...

If your like me and worry about spilling your head cement, well here's a tip.  Over the years I've spilled my head cement more than once and it makes a huge mess.  Both times I bumped it with my arm/hand and over she went....  These bottles tend to be relatively tall and narrow and it doesn't take much to send them tumbling.

I use a Griff's bottle that's 3 inches tall and 1 1/4 inches square for my head cement.  I found that a plastic half gallon milk jug was just about the right size for the fix.  I cut the top section off (see photo) and slid it down over the bottle with the plastic conforming nicely to the jar.  This gives the bottle a much wider profile at the base and helping to prevent any future mishaps...

Find the plastic bottle or jug that fits your head cement jar and give it a try...
