Ca glue oozing from fine tip

[2rods]

What is everyone doing to stop ca glue from oozing out of the fine tip? I never squeeze bottle and just let it flow out but when I stand bottle up it continues to flow out for a bit. Waste of good glue.

When using CA, I gently tap the bottle on desk a few times to help gravity get excess liquid done from the tip, for fine tip extension, you have to hold the end up vertical, maybe leaning against some box or tall object helps.

I’ll try that thanks. The bottle will stand up on its own. What do you mean by leaning it against tall object or box?

Put the glue in your refrigerator for half an hour before using it. It makes it less runny.

Yes! Quite so. Also, store your CA in a sealed ziploc plastic sandwich bag in your freezer between uses. This seems to extend the self-life indefinitely. I don't use the stuff unless I absolutely can't avoid it, so I have a bottle at present that's got to be ten years old if not more. I can't remember when I bought it. It's still good. I take it out now and again. Let it return to room temperature. Use a few drops and put it back in the bag in the freezer. I don't know if the ziploc plastic bag has anything to do with it. I used the bag to neutralize my wife's protests about "putting that crap in the refrigerator where the food we eat is kept!"
