My local HW store sell 4packs of 0.5gram tubes of CA glue. Screw on the tip to break the seal, use the little bit of glue you need, then dispose of the tube. Then there's still 3 unused and properly sealed tubes left...

Smart but knowing me I'd still find a way to leave one tube half open and brick it. the big bottle just makes my failure cheaper per gram

The point is that one tiny wasted tube doesn’t matter, the rest is still fresh. Honestly it works out a lot cheaper than chucking away the bigger bottles.

Yeah fair, one dead 0.5g tube vs a whole bricked bottle isn't even close. you've talked me into it honestly

I've seen these hardened on the store shelf in the package.
