I carry a range of glues, adhesives and fillers when I go on an trip, but invariably when I have to use one I find it has dried out, evaporated basically useless. This was also the case with an unopened glue, one of those that you can join anything with by squeezing together to remove the oxygen, and only 12months old.
In future it looks like it may be wiser to buy smaller tubes prior to a trip.
Interested to find out what do others do.

My house is around 30 years old. On the weekend I had to do a repair to an internal door that had delaminated due to glue failure, and it's not the first one I've had to do.
Got me thinking about how many "manufactured" beams are used in buildings these days. All af them are made by glueing many small pieces of timber together.. Wonder if they'll still be safe in 30 years time???
