How To KEEP PVC GLUE FRESH For YEARS and YEARS and YEARS.......!!

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Hello Future KNOW IT ALL'S! Why did I come up with this? Frustration Builds invention!!! oh, and being a tightwad penny pincher helps as well LOL! Well very simply put I became so infuriated when I would go to use the glue for a small project and it was hard and gooey. So I said to myself, Mr. Know It All, why does this happen? It hit Me like a ton of bricks when I realized it was Becoming exposed to air even though I would tighten the cap down like a gorilla. ***Quote of the Week! Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.***

[@Leonardokite]

That seems like a pretty excellent way to keep your glue from drying out. I had an old plumber who once told me his trick for glues he didn't use very often was to store them upside down. That way the glue would harden in any non-sealed parts of the cap and keep it from drying out. That seems to work also.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Thanks for sharing, Leonard! We really appreciate the view, thanks for being here with us my friend, have a great week. GuruMike

[@tobygathergood4990]

We used to do the same thing for paint cans, store them upside down so you wouldn't have to peel off a thick skin on the top of the paint if the next use was months away.

[@wrongfullyaccused7139]

The stars have aligned! I had a thought about placing the PVC glue, still in the can, into a large mouth mason jar and vacuuming the sucker down. And here you are doing the same thing with a bag! Confirmation!

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Thanks for sharing I truly appreciate that glad we could help and confirm your suspicions, mad mike

[@mdj1967]

I do a similar thing with putty/spackle jars using regular Ziploc bags and it works great, but you’ve taken it to the next level. Thanks Mr. Know It All!!!

[@topgun52]

Yep, I use the double seal freezer bags they're thicker and work great.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Thank you very much Mike! We appreciate the view and comment, hope you have a great week my friend. GuruMike

[@billy2bob63]

I use your vacuum seal suggestion to seal up my used small tubes of RTV sealant! I always keep my PVC sealant indoors with no problems. Never thought about this tho!! Great tip thanks Mike!

Also when you're painting and you get paint on your hands or arms spray it with WD40 and it dissolves right off. It works better than soap and water.

[@capeman10]

Good tip 👍

[@Marcoosianism]

Does it work better than paint thinner?

[@dontderockmerizz3211]

Hack, You can put plastic bags over the opening of a gas can & then screw on the nozzle. That’ll keep the fuel smell from coming out while transporting it.

[@Susan70003]

I do that on the mower under the gas lid between mows or else the next time I go to mow all the gas has evaporated.

[@pedrorojascervantes3928]

Great idea for paint soaked brushes , like when you have to rush out of the house , or plan on continuing the work later. Wrap in saran wrap & vacuum seal! Just the saran wrap & ziploc & putting it in the fridge works but adding the vacuum step before refrigeration would extend the paint brush readiness almost indefinitely!

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Great idea, Pedro! Thank you for watching and sharing, hope you have a fantastic week my friend. GuruMike

[@zeme0556]

Had a small project and needed the pvc glue. What I had was gelled up but used anyway. Repaired failed so I have to go buy more fittings and glue. I will definitely use the vaccum sealer saves time and money. Thanks

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Thanks for watching and sharing Zeme05, we truly appreciate it, have a great week and all the best on your project my friend. Guru Mike

Another good tip is if you get smooth leather workgloves or welding gloves rub in hand lotion and they will not burn or cut as easily. They will last a lot longer and be softer and more pliable.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Awesome! Thank you for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it Ken, hope you have a great day. GuruMike

[@chuckredd9131]

On the coffee filter trick. I use a coffee filter or a dryer sheet and put it over a new lawn mower/edger/chain saw/etc. to keep factory filter cleaner. When the outer filter gets dirty I replace it, blow out factory filter. A very light coat of WD-40 will catch even more dust.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Great tip Chuck! Thank you for watching and sharing, hope you have a fantastic week my friend. Guru Mike

[@gacputech7719]

I use a face mask and pop the strings off and straighten out the folds, then peel one of the three layers off and put it over my lawn mower air filter to help keep it clean.

Thank you for this video. I am no plumber by any stretch of the imagination. However, I have bought one too many PVC glues over time, and although I do not have a sealer machine like yours... I have a simple female plan that I am going to try. I am going to grab myself a zip-lock bag and a straw, and drop that baby in the bag... next, I am going to pop that straw in the far-end corner and zip it up... and suck all the air out... and quickly close it and tape over the entrance LOL!! 🤣🤣😅😅😂🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@tonyc7352]

Don't do that! Seriously! I tried doing just that (with PVC cement), I used a medium sized zip lock freezer bag and a straw on my first suck in it immediately burned my throat and nose. It actually hurt and was scary. After about 10min I did feel better.

I must have thrown away about a dozen PVC glue cans over that years because they went bad on me. I also have an industrial vacuum packer. I never even connected putting the two together, (I'll have to change my name to Dumb Bunny). Now I'll go and dig out the two or three cans of glue that I have and vacuum pack 'em, (assuming I don't have to throw them away again). Thanks for the great tip! Good tip on the coffee filters too, although I have used a permanent metal mesh basket for years now.

[@ramosel]

Or... with the lid off, fill the top of the can with propane (from a propane torch) long enough to displace the air. Propane is heavier and will settle on the paint surface and keep the air in the can from slowly solidifying the glue. If you have a car channel, you probably use POR-15... this works great to keep your POR-15 from going bad too.

[@sticksbass]

so the 3 year old glue max is bs? i have red hot blue christys from 2009 that seems good but im afraid it might fail or something if i use it.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

If it's still wet and drips, it's still good. When it's not good is when it's hard like a piece of chewed gum, that's of no use at that point. Hope this helps, thank you for watching, have a great week my friend. Guru Mike & team

[@pedrorojascervantes3928]

Thanks for the tip! Haven't thought about using a vacuum sealer! There's aerosol spray of nitrogen that you spray into paint containers that displaces the oxygen. A Canadian specialty tool catalogue company called Lee Valley tools sold it some years back. I know that certain glues, adhesives can be stored in the fridge & some even in the freezer. I'm pretty sure that large silicone tubes can be stored in the fridge to extend their useful life. Any way to evacuate, to displace oxygen & lower temperature is ideal.

[@tonyc7352]

I don't have one of those vacuum sealers so when I wanted to store my new can of PVC cement I thought I'd use my same ghetto vacuum seal that I used for freezing meet, by using a medium sized zip lock freezer bag and a straw. On my first suck in it immediately burned my throat and nose, it actually hurt. After about 10min I did feel better but it really was scary. I was surprised this happened because it was a new can and I cleaned and closed it well before doing this.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Why did it need to be cleaned and closed well if it was a new can? WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD EVER DO SOMETHING SO STUPID AS TO SUCK AIR OUT OF A PLASTIC BAG THAT HAS A POISON IN IT?

[@tonyc7352]

@@MrKnowItAllGuru Yes, it was stupid for me to do what I did. I admire brave people who made a mistake using a table saw (for example) and admit it as a sort of PSA to help others from not doing the same stupid thing. That was my intention here. I thought it would be obvious when I said it was a "new can" it meant first time use of that can. Safety is important to me and really try to take the side of precaution, it was dumb for me to assume there would be no vapor even though the cap was closed tightly. It's too bad you took what I said in such a not-cool way, especially because other comments, made by NMCsWorld and fritzkabeano1969 suggesting to do the same thing I actually did. For both these comments you replied in a positive way, thanking them for sharing their suggestion.

Watching you open vacuum seal bag; I thought, why couldn't you use the same bag again by cutting off the side. When done with the glue put pvc can back in and seal the side. Bag will be smaller bur I think that should work. save a bag, save space in the landfill (there is one 4 miles from our house that gets garbage from 70 miles away).

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

You’re very correct funny farm we use our vacuum bags over and over even with our food we just rinse the bag out and stick it back in the freezer until we have another item of food we want to put in it if we cut the bag clean at the top take the food out or take the silicone out and reuse it sometimes multiple times over and over mad Mike out
