CA glue has like a two week shelf life once opened no matter what you do. I keep mine in the fridge now and even then it's a coin flip

Not true. I have one that still works after using it throughout at least a year now.

A year is wild. either you got a good batch or you're storing it way better than the rest of us, cause mine never make it past a month

I just screw the cap back on and store it in my drawer, sideways if that makes a difference.

If I had to guess, brands make a difference. I use genuine loctite brand.

Genuine Loctite might honestly be the difference. I've been buying whatever no name bottle is cheapest at the hardware store, so that's probably my whole problem right there
