In Response To: Material: Gorilla Glue shelf life (Jay Babina )

: Gorilla Glue seems to have a shelf life once opened. Anybody have
: any way of stopping it from hardening in the bottle? Or does
: anyone know what the solvent is? Nothing seems to work.
: I guess once oxygen gets in there, it's just a matter of time.
: Lessons learned - only buy small bottles.

I use the large bottle and squeeze the air out and cap it when I'm done. It does seem to help extend the life, but it gets to be a pain when the bottle is amost fully collapsed. Once I get to that stage, I buy a new bottle, use it for a while, and then drain the contents of the old bottle into the new one.
