Do I have a problem?
Cleaning out a drawer tonight and realized I am addicted to glue. I can't pass the glue aisle at Harbor Freight without grabbing some! This is only from one hiding place!

Certainly not a collection to be sniffed at.

No problem at all. If you ever need glue, you'll have it.

Not necessarily, some might say you are just stuck on a fixation. Stick to your guns... adhere to your principles... you know what folks say: Your word is your bond.
I'm sorry. Was that too tacky?

Re: Do I have a problem?
Problem Many glues have a shelf life.
I had a vast assortment myself but I found when I finally went to use them that they had out lived their shelf life. Some still worked, some were dried up and some just made a gooey mess.
I now keep one bottle of each usually the smallest bottle made.
Real intesting thing is how rapidly the glue world is changing. I keep finding better and better products. The Gorilla line seems to be the most inventive.

Re: Do I have a problem?
You are correct about shelf life. Usually applies to after opening the container - especially polyurethane glues. Epoxy has lasted years without going bad. Caulk (kinda a glue) will dry in an unused tube. I just threw three unused bad tubes away this week. It had turned into a clay like texture. Keep regular wood glues like Titebond cool, but protect from freezing.Ed in Tampa wrote:Problem Many glues have a shelf life.

Geeze! Sorry, Chris, but there is no justification that will allow me to comment here.
