glue pot

Heated adhesive container

A glue pot is a container for heating and holding glue, traditionally a double-walled vessel that uses a water bath to keep animal-based glues at working temperature without burning.

Woodworkers and bookbinders historically kept glue pots warming on their benches.

The term now applies to any container holding liquid adhesive ready for use.
