Yuck! So I looked around my shop and found a set of kitchen tongs I picked up years ago at a yard sale. Now I hold the part with the tongs when I need to spray it with adhesive. And I keep the tongs attached to the can of spray glue with a big rubber band so that when I need it, it’s right there. ◆ Photo by Michael Turko.
