Here's a couple links:

The Pidigi glue pot container is used by leatherworkers worldwide because the airtight seal helps keep glue and brush from drying out. Ideal for both water and solvent-based adhesives. Made in Germany. Colours: White and Blue Size: 1.50 litres

The brand is Italian but the pot is stamped Made In Germany

I need one of these!!

Do you mean 'Major'? That's what I use. Should be fine with solvents.

Some other brands of pots do say not to use glues containing formaldehyde, but it seems Fadi is experiencing cracks without using adhesives containing such ingredients.

The plot thickens, as does your glue..

There it is, in living colour.

I got them from Shoetechnik in Italy. Absolutely no reason to doubt them but twice bitten now so I'll pass until I know what's what.

It says MINOR, just like the one from Abbey England. That's the new one still wrapped up in plastic, unlikely to see the light of day until I need a new brush.

I couldn't make out any markings to elaborate on the plastic type, PP or PE or similar. I could suggest BS as a suitable moniker - just look at that bottom corner crack.

Anyhow, that's the story. Choose well, folks. You have been warned.

... and just an update from Antonio from Shoetechnik, he mentioned that the pots above are good for neoprene and water based glues only. Solvent based will damage the container.

I already figured.

exact same ones i had! Good to know!
