Simple Solutions

Wooden skewers used for barbecuing are handy to have around the shop. Use them to puncture the foil seals in tubes of caulk, sealant, and adhesives. They’re also great for spreading glue into mortises, dowel holes, biscuit slots, and other tight spaces. And the skewers can be used to plug stripped holes in hinges.
