i'll second that about por15 being a great glue. what i do is i take a piece of plastic wrap and put it into the can, pressing it up against the por15, and allowing the plastic wrap to over hang outside of can. then i put the lid back on. this keeps the lid from glueing itself to the can and keeps the por 15 from drying out in the can. i am not sure where i got this from, i almost think it says to do this right on the can or from por15 website. this is great stuff though, when used properly... jason 87 syncro westy so many roads to ease my soul...
