I cant seem to get to the jail in time to melt the cell lock with Grog. The cup melts before I can get there. I have tried many many times but the cup always melts. HELP. very frustrating.

Go to the Scumm Bar. Pick up all the fivemugs that are on the tables. Go to the kitchen. Use the mug withthe barrel which contains grog. The grog inside is very corrosiveand thus a mug will not hold the grog for long. When the mug isnear dead, use it with another mug. You got no time to loose now,so better hurry up. Find the shortest way to the prison. Changethe mugs on the way. When you reach the prison. Use the meltingmug on the lock to melt it.

If you haven't looked at the solution yet and prefer more of a hint. Then try to find a way to extend the time that the grog can be held.
