Hey all, I got a bottle of GW super glue thin about a week ago. I've used it maybe a half dozen times and it's already thickening up and getting "gummy." I'm just keeping it on my desk right now, is there a certain way or place that I should store it between uses? This has been happening to me quite often, as my previous two bottles (both GaleForce Nine) dried the lid shut so I couldn't unscrew it.

Keep it in the fridge? That's what I do at least.

I prefer loctite professional liquid super glue. I always store my glue nozzle up. The last a very long time that way. My last bottle survived for ~ a year and a half.

I keep mine in the fridge. Real conversation with girlfriend:

"Barks, why is there superglue in your fridge?"

"Why, where do you keep yours?"

"Touché."

Loctite is the only super glue for me too. 8)

It will last longer in the fridge.

I have the same problem: my super glue has dried up, and now it is almost impossible to use it.
