A common concern people have when using construction adhesive is how they’re going to store the leftover adhesive so that it doesn’t dry out. There are a few different methods you can use. The easiest is to simply squeeze out a little bit of glue so that it sits and dries at the tip of the applicator. This will make a natural seal that keeps air out of the tube.
Some people find that using a nail as a plug works well too, and still others seal out air using latex or plastic bags. You can find simple how-to guides for these methods online.
Whatever method you use, make sure that you keep the leftover adhesive in temperatures under 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
