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

you must have a different breed of politicians to us,ours are made of teflon.

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.

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

EPAIII:
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.

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.
