Storage of super glue and super glue gel

[Colin1967]

Hi All,

 

PLEASE can any of you help me with 'a problem' that's driving me to distraction, I buy a certain brand of super glue and super glue gel and after a couple of uses the product inside the small plastic bottle seems to dry up and I can't use the product again, yes I do clean the nozzle and brush provided and make sure I have done the caps up, any advice appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Colin.

Hi Colin,

 

The big problem is moisture; So I store my superglue in a can of Nesquick with silica gel. No more problems!

Not an answer as such, but I buy my superhighway from Poundland.

When a tube dries up,  I just throw it away and start another - it's cheap enough.

CarLos - thanks for the top tip!

Using desiccant is a great idea!

 

My current method is only buy a small bottle  so there's less to loose when it gets too thick. Also, make sure the lid and cap are clean and fully closed.

Hi All,

 

Thank you for the information it's much appreciated !

 

I am going with CarLos suggestion which I appreciate very much, I actually have a container with a similar silicon gel in, it's meant to protect my hearing aid, so, now it will be shared with a couple of small bottles of super glue and super glue gel.

 

Thank you !
