Pillbox
Jun 15, 2021 10:27:57 #
I use a two-week pillbox for the pills I take every day. My current one broke, so I looked in the Dollar Tree for another. All they had were large one-week pillboxes. I bought two and used my hot glue gun to attach them. How did people manage before the hot glue gun?

I still survive without one…in fact I don’t think I’ve ever used one. Like a previous poster noted, epoxy or super glue depending on the application. I really like the epoxy that comes in a putty like consistency. You just cut off a piec and knead the two parts together. No muss with a little bit of fuss.

The hot glue will eventually let go!!! but its easy so just do it again.
Super glue is probably better one time and done!!!

The new (at least at retail availability) glue that cures instantly when ultraviolet light is applied sounds promising. I believe it was originally developed by a dentist for repairing chipped/broken teeth. I have a couple of tooth repairs with that technology and still holding up after several years.

Duct tape was originally named “Duck” tape and originally only came in green, not silver. Duct tape was originally invented by Johnson & Johnson’s Permacel division during WWII for the military. The military specifically needed a waterproof tape that could be used to keep moisture out of ammunition cases. Later years in the military we called it 100mph tape.

In the 1950 we used wet cooked rice to glue every thing

I though of super glue, but the gap between them was too large. Filling gaps is one of the advantages of using hot glue.

I get my meds in 90 day supplies so I glued 12, 7 day boxes together and when I see there are 2 rows left I order refills. This leaves me with a 6 day supply which I use to refill boxes 1 thru 6 as they empty. When I reach day 76 I order refills and when they arrive I fill rows 7 thru 90, after having consumed whatever rows remained when I placed the order.

I use and suggest Plano fishing tackle boxes. They are available in many sizes and many are adjustable.
