Weaver Leather Glue Pot, black

I’ve used a similar design to this where I can fill the pot up to close to the top of the spout to keep the brush wet and not have to fill the pot as often. It leaks!! Filled it up for the first time and if glue went past the seam where the black top meets the bottom, it leaked glue from all 4 corners. It was a huge mess to clean up. Also when using the brush as soon as the brush is turn upside down the weighted top which creates the seal on the glue pot moves! Very annoying. It means with each brush swipe I have to adjust or compensate for the sliding weight. I’m hoping it’s just an error and not all are like this one. I unfortunately missed the return window as I would have exchanged it for another one that didn’t leak or had a proper brush.

As a leather craftsman, I use a lot of glue, so I want my glue to stay as fresh as possible. This glue pot has two advantages to my needs. First it is $7-$10 less than other look-alikes. Just a few bucks but add in the second advantage and it is a lot! Secondly, the seal that covers the actual glue is not flexible, but is a heavy solid cover, unlike others that have a flexible rubber cover. This will always provide a better seal, if placed properly on the glue pot. I paid less for my glue pot with a better lid that keeps my glue fress longer! Win-Win for me!

Not bad but it leaks in the top corners so I have to have it completely level and it leaked all over because I thought I could fill it more.

This was for a friend and he looks happy with it

The glue pot I received doesn’t have any silicone to seal the bottom part to the top part. I just found out how it’s supposed to be when I visited one of my local leather store. My glue dries out very quickly! As a remedy I had to use contact cement around the top part to make a seal. I would like to know if I received a faulty item?
