Crappy Housewife Tip of the Day

So you bought a brand new glue stick, and after your first craft using it, a forgetful child leaves the cap off. When you finally get around to cleaning up the craft several days later, it is a shriveled peg of dried glue. Oh well, throw it out, right? Wrong! You can rehydrate dried-out glue sticks! Just fill with water, stick the cap on, and leave it overnight. Tomorrow morning, you will have a brand new glue stick again!

  2. Glad to help! Mind you, I don't know if this works with a half-used glue stick, because then your water-to-dried-glue ratio would be off. But I THINK it would work if you rolled the glue down to the lowest point, then only filled it with water to the top of the actual glue. Good luck!
