Default What can be used for resealing partially used contents: glue, paint...

"how are food preserve jars"

Great, jars, lids (with integral rubber seal) are readily available at many
grocery stores. Also look to thrift stores for the old fashioned food
preservation jars with the wire closure and separate washer and to a source
for a "spray can" of a gas (forget which) intended to replace the air above
the liquid in such a container) before setting the lid.

No personal experience with the latter, just with the old fashioned glass
and separate rubber gasket containers.

They do not seem to do much better than a jelly jar with integral rubber
seal in the lid as the captured air seems enough to "skin paint" or any glue
stored therein.

I do not like glass,but how are food preserve jars? I know you can pick
those up, and aren't the tops sold seperately. are they just metal to
metal, or can you get a rubber seal in there? aren't they supposed to seal
good? Is the glass breakable?
