| Super Glue mini-bottle that doesn't harden by itself while stored capped? |

Muttley and others maybe- Agree about dollar stores- who knows what you're getting or if you'll get the same thing on next visit. However, Harbor Freight is another story and is pretty good at commodity stuff like this. |

As Fraser said, use gel superglue. Stays workable for much longer and is not that runny as vanila superglue. |

I do three simple things. First I buy the small tubes. They are OK until opened and that can be years. Two, I wipe them after using. You don't want any glue at the tip that can harden. Three, I store them with the cap as tight as possible and standing VERTICALLY with the CAP FACING UP. That keeps them from leaking past the cap and having the air/moisture come in contact with any that leaks past the cap. This can keep an opened tube good for years. But nothing is perfect and super glue is inexpensive. --- Quote from: Halcyon on April 20, 2023, 01:16:44 pm ---Moisture is your problem, not necessarily air. --- End quote --- |

Storing in the refrigerator has been the answer for me. I buy the multi-packs of small tubes and after opening one, keep it in a heavy (4 mil) mini zip lock bag in the fridge. They last years this way. |
