Back in April I posted a video about the kinds of glue I use in my workshop. Many viewers posted some great ideas in the comment feed, with regards to storing glue. These money saving tips were really useful, and so I decided to compile them all into one video. Glue such as epoxies, polyurethane and cyanoacrylate (CA Glue) can be expensive and typically have short shelf lives. These tips will help you get the most out of your glue and will save you money.

Great tips! Saving money on glue helps buy more expensive lumper for projects! Keep up the great work as the goal is for us to continue to inspire others to build something awesome! 👍🏼
Thank you for your tips. Especially the ones for the CA glue and PU glue storage.
We don't experience winter where I live (I have never seen snow except on TV or in photos), so I don't have to worry about my glue freezing, but we have a lot of humidity even when it's sunny. During the rainy season it can be so bad, that leather shoes develop a thin layer of mold, and of course unprotected cast iron and steel will develop rust. Smaller silica gel packets also come in shoe and handbag packaging, and I have always kept them for the same purpose. 😊😊
Interesting video Eric and great tips!! 👍👍
I did not know wood glue couldn't freeze!!! Luckily my insulated garage stays above 40F . Good tips!
On the contact adhesive in the caulk tube type tubes. You can actually take a piece of packing tape and wrap the end of it with packing tape to seal it and it'll last considerably longer that way than if you don't close the end of it at all. Just something I've found that works pretty well.
Fantastic tips, Eric! Thanks a lot! 😃
About airplanes, I build them with hot glue and foam board... But rc airplanes, of course. 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I was reminiscing about the plastic Revell model airplane kits. WW2 planes were my favorite. You never forget that glue smell though🙂
@@EricSorensenCanada I bet! 😂
Hi Eric, just a comment. The makers of Starbond say that you should store unopened bottles of CA glue in the fridge but not open bottles as open bottles will absorb moisture out of the fridge interior.
I don't know about that specific brand/ formula, but my Gorilla CA glue is holding up really well in the refrigerator - having been open for more than a month. I think if you're worried about moisture, I would put in a ziploc bag and seal it with some dry packs. The cool temp will keep the glue from solidifying.
You mentioned using 'used' silica dry packs in tool drawer etc. to keep moisture down. I get them with some of my meds and just like you I put them in drawers/cabinets with tools. How or can one determine if they're still good?
If they have absorbed the max moisture, they should feel heavier, almost like a beanbag. They can be dried out again if placed near a dehumidifier. For packing in ziploc bags, they will probably not get maxed out provided the bag stays sealed and the air has been purged.
Anyone have tips for liquid plastidip? Mine only lasted 2 weeks after opening
