How To Stop Your Super Glue From Drying Up...




If you're a regular user of super glue or other kinds of epoxies, you can keep the tips from drying out by storing the tubes in a jar of rice. 

It sounds a little backwards, but super glue actually needs water in order for it to harden and dry out. Unfortunately, that also means that the moisture in the air can cause the tips of super glue tubes to dry out and practically ruin the whole tube. I’ve found a better solution. Just toss your super glues and epoxies in a jar or tube filled with a tiny bit of rice and the rice will absorb a lot of the excess moisture in the air. You can also use silica gel (The bagged stuff you find when you buy a new shoe) litter if you have some of that around…
 Have fun trying this out and tell me what you think in the comment box below
