Anyone know what breaks down plain old yellow Elmers?
I have a great glue bottle that I let get all gummed up with the stuff.
Anything I can pour in there to loosen it up?

All of the above. PVA is soluble in acetone.
One reference I found via the google.

But the water may cost you more than a new bottle.

there's nothing I know that will dissolve it--that's why real restorers
don't use it on true antiques.
If it is just thickened, hot water...

Thanks, all.
The acetone really loosens it up.
