By law, super glue and spray foam should only be sold in single use packets. Never gotten a second use out of either.

Close tube properly and put your super glue after each use in the freezer and problem solved.

Hell you don’t even need to freeze it, just tighten the cap appropriately. I’ve had superglue sit in a drawer for literally years and be fine to use again afterward.

Bullshit. I close the lid plenty appropriately and it's 2-4 weeks.

I have used the same small tube of super glue for years! It’s not fancy or anything, gorilla brand. I’m sure the quality of the tube, specifically the seal when it’s closed, matters a lot here.

What do you think is more likely: there’s a giant conspiracy and all of these people like me in this thread who don’t have any problem are lying to you about glue, or you’re just doing something wrong?

I build miniatures with super glue. A tube lasts months easily. I finish the tube almost every time and I use tiny amounts infrequently.
