What's up with that?

[Ealy]

Anyone else get tired of only getting a few uses from a tube of Super Glue before the cap sticks to the nozzle? I can usually twist the cap off with pliers, damage the nozzle, and get a few more baits glued, but what a waste! I've thrown away well over a dozen bottles this year. Any responsible super glue users ever get to use the full tube before it's trash time? What gives?

Happens to me every time.  I recently tried Gorilla glue but I haven't had to reopen it yet.  I'll let you know if it does the same thing.

I started using this type based on a comment in the recent past from Bill Babler. cheaper in the long run than the Locktite Super Glue

get a bottle of the liquid and you can open and reclose the lid.  to apply, use a toothpick.  this method has worked for me for a long time.

My 8 year old can't be trusted with it either, but I have no problem using it to the very last drop.  Wipe the tip off before putting the cap on.  Don't leave the cap off for 5 minutes while you're jacking around.  Keep the bottle upright and not just rolling around on the floor.

  All the above  ^.      I've been using all sorts of superglues for years in model building and whatnot.  The above advice is the way to go, Especially wiping the tip o1ff.

I've been using the Harbor freight stuff and I keep it upright and do all the stuff wrench said and it's helped.  Just tossing it in the storage compartment doesn't.

I use the Krazy glue brand with the brush.  It rolls around in the storage compartment and I haven't ever had any problems.

Use the gel instead of the liquid. Its stays where you put it and no problems with the cap.

Gotta wipe the tip, keep it closed, and upright. Does not always work out that way, so bring extra.
