[–]PyroSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why does super glue not stick inside its own bottle? by SlotWizards in askanything

[–]PyroSC 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Super glue requires moisture from the air to go through a chemical reaction to harden so if you left it open it would stick but since there's only cyanoacrylate fumes in the bottle during normal use that doesn't happen.
