Many of you may know this one already, but I picked up this trick from years of building model airplanes!
If you dab a bit of Vaseline on the threads of any adhesive bottle after opening it, the glue will last MUCH, MUCH longer...
This is particularly the case with Urethane and Cyanoacrylate glues that cure by hydrolysis (moisture cure!).
It also increases the storage life of epoxies (stays clearer longer, doesn't yellow as quickly!)
Just a quick tip!
