How do you fellas keep your CA fresh. I keep mine in the fridge. I heard it keeps it from drying up. I still have a problem keeping the spout from drying up and getting hard.

Any Ideas???

I'm going to be real helpful here

Mine sits on the counter with no cap on half the time. Never had an issue, its a pretty old bottle (A year maybe? - it is a 2 oz bottle so capable of lots and lots of arrows). And then when I do put the cap on the end is filled with dried glue so it just sorta sits on top of it, it doesn't seal.

I think too many bottles are very very narrow and get clogged easy. This one is a different size than the old superglue tubes that pretty much always stopped up (I almost never got to use a whole tube or bottle of other brands). Maybe it is a conspiracy to get us to purchase more

c/a will keep longer in the frig. but moisture will set it. Place it in a
baggie before putting it in the frig. The tip can be cleaned by putting
it in a container of acetone, it will also take dried c/a off of your
fingers.

So what your saying is... take the cap off and clean it up with acetone then place it back on the bottle and put it in a baggie then into the fridge?

Yes that is correct. Also c/a has a shelf life, it will get thicker as it gets older. However I have stored some in the freezer for up to six months with no ill effects ( I use a lot of it with r/c airplanes ).

I figured in Alaska, you could just sick it in the ground and it would keep forever!

Naw, a big moose would come by and eat the top off, if the bears didn't beat them to it.

Throw the cap away and run a screw into the spout. When you want to use the glue, remove the screw and the hole will be clear. When finished, just replace the screw.

what I do

store the glue bottle upside down, just make sure the cap is on good. Drill a hole in a piece of wood and stick the spout into the hole, storing the bottle spout down. This prevents the cloged up tip and keep the jelling to the bottom.

I were told this by the Gorrilla glue rep, on storing their glue without the top from hardening.
