I wish all ink came in the Versafine Clair cases. They are super tight, but lightweight. The bottom of the case is a bit taller than other cases, so I don't get inky fingers and don't have to worry...

I would try adding a very small amount of corn starch to a small amount of glue, and going from there. If your glue has been stored under cold conditions, you may not be able to revive it.
