I can't get my plastic glue out of the bottle, and I tried to water it down but that didn't work.

thats because it's glued shut.

Cut the very tip of the bottle off.

Yea, the obvious is, make sure you cut the tip off. If you already did that, then get some guitar string or something similar, and jam it down the tube a few times.

Paperclips make good pokers, too.

I heard that GW has put a Cease & desist order on glue because it allows people to take pieces of plastic and form them into likenesses of GW IP...

I never use Gw GLUE its over price and i have the same problem... I like the genitic type... More varities.. and you get alot more for the same price... I go 4 0z of glue for 5.99 vs GW glue 1.5 oz for 8.99??

thank you

nooo!

Theres an easier way!

I'm one of those people who always forgets to put the cap on.

if you have GW drill (or simmilar. if you don't have one, you should get one)

Pierce the tip where the glue comes out and then wipe the drill with a towel.

A drills good because it doesn't cut the sides.

can't help ya sorry, I always use superglue for all my models..it's cheaper and dries faster

I use the PaperClip Method™

I use Testor's Plastic glue and never have this problem.

The orange bottle stuff? That's because it has a metal tip, I think.

And use a spike or a needle instead of a cap. That way you know that its 100% seald air thight and wont clog.

Nope, I use the stuff in the black triangle bottle. If the metal nozzle clogs, one second in the flame of a match clears it quickly and safely.

Have you got a modelzone near you? they do a plastic glue that has a long metal nozzle, as an added bonus not only will it not glue shut it won't go all over your models.

I use the Revell contacta stuff (metal needle tip, like the testors stuff) - I can get two bottles of it for the price of one bottle of gummy GW plastic glue.

Like todosi, a second in a match flame and any blockage is gone. Have to be careful, though as it IS flammable (which is why this method works so well).
