I don't often use superglue but when I do I invariably find the bottle is gummed up and the glue has set in the nozzle the second time I try to use it. It's expensive buying a new tube pr bottle every time.
Can anyone recommend a superglue that doesn't set in the bottle or nozzle?

Re: Superglue
Loctite Superglue gel has a needle in the cap that seems to work, as does superglue precision in the stand up bottle.

I have got a pack of mini ‘single use’ tubes of super glue. I think there are about 10 tubes in the pack. Use a tube once and then bin it.

Re: Superglue
I sometimes use a 2 part cyanoacrylate("superglue") called Mitre Mate. I believe Lion sell it. Its designed for(unsurprisingly) joining mitres, but i've found that it can be used on all sorts of things. Because the glue needs an activator it tends not to dry in the nozzle quite so readily, but will be unsuitable for some applications which superglue is used for. I make small boxes for presents out of mountboard off-cuts and its great for this.
