Bottoms-up glue solution

FSMRT1215_04copy
Flip that yogurt cup upside down and it easily becomes a glue bottle holder.
Some PVA adhesives are so viscous (Aleene’s Tacky Glue) that if you store them right-side-up, you spend a lot of time shaking down the material to get it out of the nozzle (think ketchup). So, I wanted to store it upside down. But what do you use? After having bad luck with a plastic cup, due to the top-heavy bottle, I turned to trusty Chobani yogurt cups. They’re terrific for holding parts, but after cutting the proper-sized hole in the bottom and turning the cup over, the Aleene’s sits straight, upside down, doesn’t tip, and is ready for use instantly.
