Epoxy Glue Bottle Holder by Joker_53150

Here are two different versions of holders for 4.5 ounce epoxy bottles. I made three different styles of each version so you can hold 2, 4, or 6 bottles.
I build a lot of balsa and foam planes, and therefore use epoxy quite often. I keep three different "speeds", 5 minute, 15 minute, and 30 minute. With so many different bottles I wanted a way to organize them a bit, so I came up with "Version 1" of my 4.5 ounce bottle holder, designed to hold the bottles right-side-up. After looking at other designs that held them upside-down I changed my design (Version 2) to allow for that as well. Keeping the bottles upside down means you won't have to wait for thick epoxy to eventually squeeze out of the bottle. When held upside down the tip of the bottle is resting on the base, which should help keep the tip from falling off. The base is also designed with a lip around it just in case you have a major spill it won't end up on your work bench.
Note on "Version 2", when you glue the base to the top some clamps may be useful to keep it all lined up. In the picture of mine you can see that they aren't lined up very well due to my error in assembly.
