zogrewasteWhat happened to my wood glue?
Here’s what it looked like out of the bottle.

I recently used some glue that had that exact issue. I just needed it for a small repair and it actually worked great once I managed to get it out of the bottle (and off of my hands).
I used a large blob then clamped the wood and wiped off the excess that seeped out. If I was a real woodworker I would have sanded it afterward but it looked ok. That was about 6 months ago and the chair is still holding up
I miss her.
Same… ;-;
It just went bad. It’s one of those products that will go bad exactly when you need it. Actually, it went bad well before you needed it, you just never thought to check. I usually buy a new small bottle for every job/project. That way I always have at least one bottle of good glue.
Pika+1 to that. Consumables are always either missing or gone bad by the time you need them, I am trying to not fall for the “well this larger quantity is only 1$ more” instances because I lose that savings because it goes bad before usage!
I had a bottle of Elmer’s wood glue from when the local home Depot shut down… Used it on and off for 5-6yr… Stored in garage -10-100*F. Used the whole thing. Gallon of Titebond? Dead by next spring, kept inside for the winter.
Captain AggravatedI don’t know exactly what happened to it beyond “it became unusable.”
Lee@zogrewaste it's transitioning into windshield washer fluid. It will take a few more months to complete. I've heard you can accelerate the process by pouring it into your washer fluid tank, but I don't recommend it because it's from some guy on the internet...
It looks like it's curing in the bottle. Having a poor seal, and hot temperature can make it cure faster, but it'll eventually happen to any bottle of unused glue as the solvents evaporate out. Part of it is that plastic bottles are pretty bad at containing solvents in the long run, so glues that come in a metal can or tube will have a longer shelf life, but it might just be easier to buy a smaller amount of glue when you need it.
Overkrillit was miraculously transformed into Irn Bru. call a monk they must accept it into a reliquary.
Irn Bru is the strangest soda I’ve had. If you’re not familiar (idk availability)… Try Big Red.
