I have done this but my trick is to keep an old glue bottle to keep refilling. Just keep one of your favorite size, mark it if it's a different product than on the label, and refill as needed. I like an 8 oz bottle best. Bought a 1/2 gallon of Elmers School Glue a few years ago and that bottle lasted forever.....until I needed it at work (I'm a teacher) and the kids finished it for me.
