I would say follow the instructions on the bottle. It is a great glue. You have to wipe off excess glue before you close the top and keep it upright.

It's not the easiest to keep from getting stuck, but if you run a cotton ball with some acetone around the rim of the bottle before you close it, you should be fine. It's definately annoying but the glue itself is worth the hassle.

I have not had a problem. I make sure that when I wipe the edge of the brush I keep it within the little plastic opening so the glass part stays free of glue. I love this stuff - I even use it to repair small things around the house!

Put an oil around the outside of the rim. I've used coconut oil and that's done a great job. Baby oil works as well, just not as well in my opinion.

I did most of the things others had to get ours open, but the needlle-nosed pliers worked for us. The important part is the putting it away. We used several layers of waxed paper underthe little depressed sealing lid. You still can turn the screw-on lid down on it (just not as far as you would have) and it gives you just enough lip to use the pliers more easily next time.

my sticker came off pretty easy. I have googled before how to get sticky off of items left by stickers and I have always found Dawn Dish liquid to work with a mild abrasive sponge. I read vinegar works and WD-40 can help too. Peanut butter (same as when you use it to get gum out of things like your hair). Maybe google and find out other methods but it came off pretty easy for me for some reason.

hi i have to agree with vid pro. i do not believe you have ruined it at all. i would get the gun hot again and push more sticks of glue through too. even if you used mini sticks keep pushing thru even if you used a wooden skewer to help push it thru [ never use metal,] only a wood skewer, just to push it as soon as you see the glue come through, try to get all the glue mini sticks out that way.might as well get the right sized glue sticks cos this will be a repeat of the same ole problem you are having now if you don't. the best thing is just use the right size sticks to push out the mini sticks of glue out, then you can bypass wood skewer. that is what i would do. you should really use the mini glue sticks for a smaller gun cos the chamber is made for the mini sticks that is why it is difficult to get the glue flow out with this gun. rest assured i use this glue gun profesionally i own 2 i love this gun. this gun is HOT please make sure to have ice water near you can dunk a finger in, helps to cool the glue so the burn isn't so bad. live and learn please be careful. enjoy that gun hope this helps pammypurple

I'm sorry, but I cannot help with that one. I had a hobby shop suggest Weldbond for me to glue a glass handle on a small glass pitcher and it did not hold at all. I tried twice, let it dry in correct position, left it alone for a couple weeks and when I stood it upright after a short while the handle fell off. Again, this was smooth glass onto smooth glass. Hopefully it might hold on a painted wall. It might. It is supposed to be an excellent product, but didn't help me.

I keep a jar filled with mineral spirits and just spray it through the sprayer when I'm done painting. Probably overkill for latex paint but at least I'm sure there isn't any residue left. When I first got the critter I tried to be sure the whole thing was clean. Now I only ensure the tube, the tip and the hole in the lid are clear. GarryG is right about the cork gasket. I ended up getting some heavy duty gasket sheet from the auto parts store and made my own gaskets. They're not as fragile and I've always got a spare if I need it.

Many use a small rod curling iron. Myself I like using a small soldering gun w/ interchanging heads & a steel ruler as a guide for a straight line. Practice on scraps or a bag that can't be used. It doesn't take long for the soldering iron to make the seal. I leave enough space for the vaccum hose to remove the air then using a finger below the hose when done to stop air from re-entering the bag & finish sealing the bag. Don't burn your finger. I have also used a bag clip during this process, the one that has a ridge that snaps inside itself. Hope this helps.

You may have lumps in your paint. Try straining the paint through a pair of knee high pantyhose stretched over the mouth of the jar. Works for me!

This is a very thick liquid, I actually found putting it into a cup, and quickly ran a string of my home made beads through the solution. I think you can use any brush, bu the thicker it is the easier it will loose bristles. Good Luck. God Bless

Never saw crazy glue in a bottle with a brush. Are you sure you are using instant bonding Krazy Glue? I saw crazy glue or the generic in tubes with a nozzle you had to cut to get the glue out. the nozzle was always getting clogged. I had to stick a sewing needle in the nozzle to try and remove the clog.The glue with the red twist top never clogs and is in my opinion the best packaging devised to dispense instant glue. there are other brands of instant glue on the market. Just make sure you buy one with the plastic twist off top.

I am having the same problem - with both jars I bought, one from amazon and one from a local salon! I am watching for an answer 'til my next haircut.

I have saved the cap, taken the applicator off and put the cap back on, wrapping the application in plastic or putting the tube and applicator in a zip lock bag. I have also just put plastic wrap over the applicator and secured it with a rubber band, you can also simply stick a small nail or pin in the open tip of the applicator and that works very well too (something painters do with caulk tubes) ... not a problem and it is a good product.

I agree with the other responder. Great out the jar. It's amazing on banana once it's warmed up a bit so it's soft. Get some and try it out.

I keep it in the refrig after opening. Cover the cut end tightly so it doesn't dry out. I had one in my frig for over two months and it was just fine.I get the big ones, and cut them into sections, freeze all but the portion I'm currently using. Maybe dampen the cut end with some water before covering with foil and then plastic. Once it dries out you can pound nails with it!

I wondered the same thing when I first purchased! There is a small clear seal on the side that reaches from the jar to the lid. When you turn the lid to open, it breaks the seal. Hope that made sense.

I transfer to a jar after softening as directed . I just finished a jar after a few months on the shelf and it was delicious as always. Usually it gets used within a month or so. Great product.

that doesn't sound right. if the cap is properly replaced it should go good until the bottle is empty. I love this stuff--use it for mosaic work mostly but have never had that problem---and I use A LOT of glue.
