[TheForge] Keeping things dry (was: Gorilla Glue)

[K Donahoe]

Thought I'd outsmart the Gorilla Glue bottle so I turned it upside down (to
seal the air out) in my paint fridge in the shop... of course it all leaked
out to form fancy stalagtite/stalagmite foamy glue sculpure!  I'll put it in
a jar with gypsum or some such now.

This may work.

At the wood working store, you can buy an aerosol can of a particular type
of gas and you spray this gas into your cans of paint and it prevents the
paint from forming that thick solidified  layer that you find in oil based
paints when the can has been opened and then sits around for a long time.

So this stuff is heavier then air and forms a layer/barrier that keeps the
oxygen away from the paint.  I find that it works for paints, stains, oils
etc.

If you spray some into the bottle of  Gorilla Glue, it may deposit a layer
of gas on top of the glue that keep moisture away from the glue.  Might
work.

What is really weird, is you pick up the can, shake it,  you would swear
that the can is empty. But there is gas in there.  One can seems to last a
pretty long time.

Is there any way to tell if the Gorilla Glue has gone bad from excess
moisture??

Hot and humid.  Looks like summer has arrived.
