Using Petroleum Jelly
A great crafting tip imspired by Nanci.

By , About.com Guide

In responding to a recent tip published regarding how to help with sticking jar lids, Nanci shared this tip....

"If you simply remove the lid, clean the lip on the bottle, coat it with good old Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly), and then replace the lid, you won’t have any problems taking off it off again."

I have also heard that petroleum jelly placed on the end of a glue gun can prevent long glue strings from forming each time you use the hot gun.
