You know this, right? For dry storage, you can hot glue canning jar lids and rings together to make lids for storage jars and canisters.
I found that this works best when I apply the hot glue to the lid edge (as opposed to the inside of the ring). I can get the glue on faster and press the lid into the ring before the glue sets up. I allow the glue to firm up for a couple of hours before using the "new" one-piece lid. The great thing is I used pieces that might otherwise end up in the garbage. The lid has been used in canning, while the ring is showing some rust inside.
This is the lid to my new coffee canister. I'll be spray painting the lid and attaching a knob later this week.
