Do all crazy glue tips dry after a while?

[Twister]

I ended up buy these very small tubes from Dollarama as seems that after a while they dry up. Is there a crazy glue tube where the applicator doesn't dry up? Thanks

Not really, they all dry up eventually. That's why it's better to buy the small ones you did and think of them as a single use.
I sometimes can get a second application if used within a couple of weeks. I've had some last 6 to 8 weeks. I use them at work as well as at home. The cheap dollar store ones work well.

They all dry up if you don't use them quick enough. Word of advice though - don't buy crazy glue from Dollar stores. The bond is weak on smaller joints. Superbond 10s Instant Adhesive from Home Depot is a much better product with an excellent bonding strength.

I find they dry up after month of opening the package and you break the initial seal.
Trick is if you are able to do this method, is to remelt the tip to seal the remaining liquid inside. Will last for months.

Well at least you know they work.

After using, hold the tube vertically and squeeze out the small amount in the tip and wipe the applicator clean. Cap it and store it in the fridge. I’ve had bottles last over a year.

Yes, they inevitably dry up. You need to use it within a certain time.

My trick is to dip a pin in vaseline and then stick it in the end of the opened tube. Keep upright on the fridge door. Lasts at best 6 months that way.

I totally did not open this thread thinking it was actually going to about ED.

That’s mine as well.
