Glues and the storage of the different types

Post by Joker56 »

I recently began to keep my " super glues " in a sealed jar inside the fridge , it's working fine all still in liquid state.
What's the common method for the likes of Tamiya ,Mek etc , I'm asking from Malaysia where the average temperature is high 20s to mid to high 30s all the time, should I keep all of my glues in the fridge until I need them ? .

C.A. does spoil faster in humid environment due to-the fact it uses some of the moisture in the air to activate. every time you pour some ... the bottle breaths some of the surrounding air and by doing so ... contaminates the glue ...(slow at first ) its the nature of the beast ! nothing you can do really ! heard about the fridge trick but.... make sure no kids have access...

as for Tamiya thin cements... they do evaporate and you should get in the habit to close the jar when ever you are not using the glue !
while cutting parts off or sanding or dry fitting .... :cheers2:

If only so you don't spill it while you're working. Nothing worse. Um...so I've heard...totally never done it. Twice. Nope... :oops:
