    In a fridge in zip lock bags slows it down but doesn't stop it.

    Thanks to all who replied. Very informative and somewhat reassuring.

    The thread seems to have been detoured elsewhere (storage of CA glue wasn't the question) so I'll sign off on this thread now.

    But Brendan storage at the outset can be part of the problem.

    If not stored properly and then applied properly could lead to problems down the track.

    I have been told that moisture e.g. condensation in the bottle after removal from a fridge and exposure to light are the two major causes of CA not lasting long regarding shelf life.
    So I find storing in a cool, dry, dark place has not given me any problems with the glue still working.
    Have only been turning for four years so will have to see about failures in six years time!
    Only use it for filling cracks using sawdust and not gluing with it.
    Regards
    Grant

    Should read "I only use it for filling cracks, using sawdust and not gluing joints with it."

    I find that the tip of the bottle gunks up with dried CA, then the cap splits and doesn't seal the bottle properly any more.

    I never replace the cap, just throw it away.

    Make a rack to store the bottles upright or you loose the contents.

    Leaving the top off allows the tip to drain and it won't block up, well not as quickly.

    Vic Wood taught me this tip 20 years ago.
