Fast-acting glues can sometimes dry out in their bottles, decreasing their use over time, but correctly storing your glue can increase its longevity. The most important rule is be sure to close the lid of your bottle or tube securely every time you use your glue. This prevents moisture from entering the packaging, which can cause the glue to thicken or harden. Also, be sure to wipe off any excess glue that may have dripped outside of the package. You can also keep your glue in the fridge. Many glues react poorly to heat, so keeping it cool increases its shelf life. Just be sure to clearly and accurately label your glue and keep it out of reach of children. To prevent moisture condensation, allow your glue to reach room temperature before opening and using the product. Following these tips will ensure your glue lasts as long as possible and performs successfully each time.
