IanHx Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hi, Went to get my bottles of CA which haven't been used for a few months, only to find that it had turned into a thick gel-like substance that wouldn't pour out. Any way to turn them back into runny liquid CA glue, or are they fit for the bin only ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Harmsworth Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Happened to me too. I ended up chucking it in the bin. I've read somewhere that CA glue starts to cure if exposed to sunlight. Since then I've kept mine in a dark corner. So far its working. Or the sunlight thing could be fake news. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 CA cures by absorbing moisture. Keeping bottles in the fridge helps, as it's pretty dry in there. Once it's started to cure, there's no cure- throw it out and replace it. I use the 1ml tubes marketed by UHU and Selleys; it costs more per ml, but given that there's less throw away wastage, I figure that it breaks about even. I tend to buy a couple of packs whenever I see them, as they can be hard to find in the shops when they're wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHx Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Thanks for the replies. Drat, that means another visit to Hannants website and the attendant risk of impulse purchases ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
