Loctite Superglue Trick

Like a lot of modelers, I use superglue more often than plastic glue.  While I like the durability that plastic glue provides to finished models, my free time is at a premium, and superglue just allows me to get more work done faster.

I'm a big fan of the Loctite Super Glue Control Gel, in the cool little "side-squeeze" dispenser:

The only bad thing about this bottle is that it's difficult to tell how much glue is left.  The other day I was building a model and was almost finished, but it seemed I was out of glue.  I figured out a neat little trick:

You can pry the bottom off of the bottle...

...which exposes the tube inside.  With a little manipulation, you can fold the tube over on itself a few times...

...which will give you a little bit more glue to work with:

...this was enough to finish the model I was working on.  One note of caution:  While I was squeezing the last remnants of glue out of the internal tube, it broke open, gluing my finger inside of the bottle!  Nothing a little gentle prying didn't resolve, and the skin on my hands is no stranger to being covered in glue - still, be careful.
