I've been using Zap-a-Gap for years in my woodworking (it's great for repairing cracks in bowls, for example) and always had problems with the tops gluing themselves to the containers, requiring a bit of muscle to remove. I read here that JC suggested leaving the top off since the stuff wouldn't evaporate, get hard, etc. So I left the tops off of two zap-a-gap bottles: one thin, one medium. Both have dried rock hard in about a 6 month time.

Any recommendations on the best way to buy, store, and deal with super glues for tying? This stuff ain't cheap. I just lost most of a 4 ounce bottle and a one ounce bottle.

Thanks for any wisdom.
