Gorilla glue
I've got a bottle of Gorrila glue that is getting old and very thick.
Anybody know of a way to make it run again? Maybe a microwave oven or something? |

From what I know about Gorilla glue, it would seem that the glue is reacting with the humidity in the air, and is slowly gluing to itself. It will continue to get thicker and thicker until it sets up completely. That's why I buy the small bottle. -Phil Crow |

I have been able to extend the shelf life from it's stated 1 year to several
years be sealing the entire bottle in a larger container after each use. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Gene" wrote in message ...

I use these from Lee Valley, they are like little "micro-condoms", take a gander: http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...110,42967&ap=1 -- Alex - "newbie_neander" woodworker cravdraa_at-yahoo_dot-com not my site: http://www.e-sword.net/ |

I like that idea. It may work even better if you put some dessicant inside the larger container. (Lee Valley has some in bulk they call "flower drying crystals" - or any kind of silica gel, Dri-Rite, etc.) I might just have to try that. The Gorilla Glue in general may last longer (i.e. react slower) if kept cool, but if you kept it in the fridge, you'd want to watch out for condensation when you take it out. I'm not sure whether very cold temps/freezing would be harmful - I'm sure you could call them if it's not on the bottle. Andy |

Yep, smaller bottle, then just squeeze out the extra air in the
container. You might check the air level now and then, to make sure of your seal. Tom |
