Great stuff, but once you open the bottle, it's going to dry up and become useless. No matter how well you seal the top. That makes it awful expensive for a single use item.

Weird. I always have the stuff on hand, and I've never had a bottle dry up before it was empty. I know some of it I've had for the better part of a year.

Saw a You Tube vid were a guy uses SG and Baking soda to fix a broken nut on a guitar. forms a super hard, file able substance. After hardening, he took a knife edge file and cut a groove for the string to rest in.
I've got a broken meerschaum pipe in need of some sg, I've just not done it yet.

I'm finding this to be true. Flew my RC plane in a tree not on purpose but anyway it was so high I had only one option and that was to shoot off the wings. I clipped the wings and got it back down but had some damage when it hit. Broke the tail and had several 22 holes in the rudder and elevator. Used gorilla glue to patch the tail and fill in the holes. Instead of poking a hole in the spout I took off the lid. After aa day it takes a pair of pliers to get the lid off and its getting hard. But it works so does the tape.
Over the years I bet I have thrown away hundreds of $ worth of glue,paint,stock finish due to it drying out. There are arasol cans of heavy gas that you can put into the containers to displace oxygen and prevent drying out. I have no idea how much it costs or where to find it though.

Probably find ads in the back of woodworking magazines.
The gas is dry nitrogen. The nitrogen doesn't react with the paint or glue as it is 99.9999% inert. The lack of moisture keeps it from activating the glue. I also think nitrogen is heavier than air, so it forms a dry inert layer over the top of whatever you are trying to preserve.
Good luck,

Any way you sell it,

Am not a fan of gorilla glue as there is not a solvent that will work on it. I use a ton of cyanoacrylate glues (super glue) due to available solvents and accelerators and varieties of available viscosities. When I need a permanent repair, I like good old JB weld. I have some in the shop that is twenty years old and has not hardened up due to its two part nature. My few experiments with gorilla showed that it stains badly, and has a huge squeeze out time involved. No time for that in my shop. The down side to CA glues is the short shelf life usually associated. It keep it in a cooler, which seems to stretch the shelf life.
The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

Polyurethane glue. It's a dark amber, clear, sticky stuff that foams as it cures. It's ok stuff, but won't really do much that isn't better done with either regular wood glue or epoxy.

Hmm... the misogynist in me wants to draw a comparison here... but on the practical side, nobody told my bottle that!
