Spent 6 hours on a bad glue joint - why I now test every batch

Last week I had a cabinet door fall apart after I hung it. Took me forever to figure out the PVA glue had froze in my truck bed overnight. I threw the bottle in my toolbox Tuesday and it got down to 18 degrees that night. Now I check every bottle before I use it. How do you guys store your glue in winter?

Not sure where you live, but do you ever just keep a couple of smaller bottles inside your house overnight? Seems like that'd be easier than hauling the whole gallon jug back and forth.

Keep a couple of small squeeze bottles in the house and just refill them from the big jug when you need more. That way your everyday glue never freezes and you're not dragging a gallon back and forth.
