Have you never had to clean out a glue bottle nozzle??? Glue does dry in
a bottle.


Well sure, but as I noted there's a *little* air in the bottle. And when
I've cleaned my nozzles they're usually pretty goopy, not a fully hardened
mass. Maybe if they sat for 6 months...



Might be a temperature thing. LOL.. Down here in Houston, TX my nozzles
gett prety stopped up with hardened glue. I typically have to pull the cap
off and grab the glue with needle nose plyers.

Any way a sealed bottle contains and prevents the loss of moisture, I think
loss of moisture is required for the glue to cure.



Don't get me started on the polyurethane glues, the humidity is enough to
set that stuff up down here. ;~)
