super glue
 

Dear Rofftyans,

This question has been posted and answered before, but I can't remember how
others have kept their super glue stored so that it does not evaporate.

I have several tubes of super glue. Two have been opened within the past 6
months. When I went to use the tubes that had been opened, both had dried up
(evaporated). I was careful to close the used tubes as air tight as possible
so this would not happen. Didn't work. I think this has happened to me a few
less than 100 times. Any help would be appreciated.
(Maybe it is a ploy by the manufacturer to keep sales up)
Thanks,
Slow Learner

Put it in the freezer along with your Aquaseal.

Just once. My favorite stream was 'changed' by the last hurricane that went
through and I spent most of the time just looking around.

How about you?

Looks like my original post got lost.

Just so you know I'm not making this up, I work for the largest maker
of CA's (AKA cyanoacrylates, superglues) in the world.
The single best thing you can do is to keep CA'sin the freezer (in a
plastic baggie in case of leaks) until ready to use. Then let the
container come to room temperature berofre you start to use it. Thats
because the second best thing you can do is to keep humidity and
condensation as low as possible. CA's don't cure by drying. They
polymerize and are accelerated by temperature, humidity and pH, with
basic surfaces making them cure faster and acidic surfaces inhibiting
cure. Age makes a difference too, and so does brand. Buy the good
stuff and avoid the stuff in dollar stores etc.

Thanks Lou,
Which are the 3 or 4 highest quality brands?
