Q & A WITH JANE CLARK
Problem:My bottle of three-dimensional glue keeps getting blocked – any tips to keep it
fl owing would be welcomed!
Lisa, via email
Solution: I used to have this problem all the time and even taped a pin to the side of the
bottle which I could use to help unclog it. But I’ve since discovered, to stop glue from drying
inside the nozzle in the fi rst place, you need to do the following: After using the three-
dimensional medium, sit it upright for a minute then gently squeeze the bottle to remove
any fl uid left sitting in the nozzle and allow some air to escape. Wipe the nozzle clean with a
cloth then tap the base of the bottle on your work area and replace the cap.
