Gorilla glue sometimes comes in handy but my biggest complaint is that
moisture absorption hardens it and makes it useless in the package.
I think the bottle is polyethylene which is one of the worst barrier
polymers for moisture, oxygen and CO2.



I've learned to buy the smallest bottle.
For just that reason.

I was disgusted when the first one hardened. Then I bought another.
It's convenient. It seems flexible, which is good for some uses. The
foaming seems to help it grab uneven surfaces.

The second bottle had a tapered metal stopper, but it, too hardened. If
I ever buy it again, I'll grease the threads, to make them easier to
unscrew and stop moisture from creeping in that way. That seemed to
preserve some polyurethane shoe stuff I had.
