I agree...I have tried several different super glues but seems to have the
same problem with the spouts getting hard Interesting to see if there
are other alternatives



Consider several things. The "activating" ingredient that makes super
glue cure is moisture. As soon as you let any moisture into the tip,
it's going to clog. Tough to use the stuff in the environment we use it,
without moisture entering the equation.

Also, the shelf life of the product is about 18 months from date of
manufacturer when packed in plastic containers and almost double that in
lead squeeze tubes.

My solution -- My wife buys it at the dollar store. Unusually get 12
tubes for a dollar. Sometimes 24!. At that price, if a tube lasts two
days, I consider it a bonus.
