🧪 Lifespan of Super Glue: How to Store It So It Really Lasts a Year?
What’s the lifespan of super glue? Has your cyanoacrylate glue dried too quickly? Perhaps it wasn’t stored correctly.
With the right care, Colle21 glue can last up to a year… or even longer! Check out our simple tips to avoid waste and keep your glue as effective as the first day.
📅 What is the lifespan of cyanoacrylate glue?
The lifespan of high-quality cyano glue, like Colle21, is around 12 months.
However, many customers have reported that with optimal storage, their Colle21 remained effective even beyond a year.
On the other hand, poor storage can damage it in just a few weeks.
❄️🥵 Lifespan of cyano glue? Where to store it? Watch out for temperature
One of the most common causes of glue deterioration is improper storage. Here are the rules to follow:
✅ Ideal temperature: 16 to 17°C
⛔ Avoid very cold places: no fridge, garage, or damp cellar.
⛔ Nor too hot: not near radiators or in direct sunlight.
Colle21 glue is anaerobic, which means it won’t dry in the bottle if stored properly... as long as these guidelines are followed!
🧍♂️ The bottle? Always upright
🔺 Always store the bottle upright, tightly closed.
🔻 Never lay it down: this can cause clogs or leaks at the nozzle.
☀️ Lifespan of cyano glue? Too much light? Bad idea
Too much light or heat can alter the glue’s formula.
💡 Choose a dry, shaded spot with stable temperature, away from halogen lamps or direct sunlight.
🧼 Lifespan of cyano glue? Dust: the invisible enemy
A common mistake among modelers:
👎 After sanding their pieces, many leave the bottle open nearby.
Result? Dust enters the bottle, compromising the glue’s effectiveness.
✅ Tip: Close the bottle immediately after use and keep it away from the sanding area.
