Keeping Glue From Drying Out

May 5, 2010

Glue in Press and SealI keep superglue in my refrigerator. I have a small tube that is at least 8 years old now, and it's still good! I just put the top back on when I'm done using it, and keep it upright in the butter compartment on the inside door.

Both suppliers told me to store them in a fridge. Several months in a refrigerator, indefinitely in the freezer.

I keep a glue stick in my desk drawer for sealing envelopes that have lost their stickiness, stamps that have been taken off something I decided not to send, etc. They are so cheap I can keep one everywhere I might need one. By Linda

Use a small piece of aluminum foil to cover the tip opening and screw back the cap of the glue.
