Who needs this?

   I've kept CA for a couple of years now. Still good. Secret to it is to keep in the fridge when not using it. Just don't get it on the other liquid refreshments that may also be cooling in there.

it goes bad well before it runs out.

My biggest "goes bad before it runs out" was Scalecoat II paint in the 2 ounce bottles. It always seemed like 75% of every bottle was tossed out because it went bad before I could use it.

Similarly I doubt if in all my decades of modeling I have ever "used up" a tube of Walthers Goo -- it goes bad well before it runs out.

The Super Glues, the Cyanoacrylate glue shelf life is 15 months. The recommend life is to use it in 6 months

I have seen the same. I tried getting the 1 oz bottles of CA, but they either went all solid before I got much into the bottle or they would not set up properly. I went back to the 1/4 oz tubes, so if the glue goes all hard in the tube, tossing it is not much of a loss.

Just thing of all the fingers you could stick together....

Who would use such a thing?  Movie studios.  One of the largest movie studios in Australia is located just a 15 minute drive from my LHS.  Whenever they're starting a new film, they buy up the LHS' entire stock of CA to use in prop and modelmaking.

The Super Glues, the Cyanoacrylate glue shelf life is 15 months.  The recommend life is to use it in 6 months.  I go with the Harbor Freight mini tubes to prevent it from drying out before the tube is empty, less waste and last longer.  The 10 pack of .1 ounce tubes last longer for me.  It works as good as any other AC I've tried and a bunch cheaper too.

It also comes in a Gel.

Another benny is you get a net nozzle every .1 ounce.

I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.

I bought an 8 oz bottle of super glue for about $30 from my local hardware store.  Somewhere somehow I made up a "squeeze spount", being a length of teeny tiny polyethylent tubing stuck into a cap.  

It worked nicely enough that way.

You can tell I don't use it very often.

I was looking for super glue online, and I found this at Grainger... a 16 ounce bottle of super glue! My super glue comes in tubes about 1/4 ounce.

.

Anyway, it does not seem too expensive if I did my math correctly. If you need a MASSIVE supply of super glue, I guess this is an option.

.

It sure is more than I will ever need. I had no idea you could buy bulk quantities of super glue. Grainger is industrial supply, so I guess it makes sense. Just seemed funny to me.

.

It looks like you would need to transfer it to smaller bottles to make it usable. Can you imagine trying to pour super glue from a 1 quart bottle?
