CA shelf life and other things!
I also use the 2oz. bottles. My supplier gave me a tip on storage for longer shelf life;I put it in the refrigerater. As to sticky fingers, when I feel it on my fingers I splay my fingers wide for a few seconds. It WILL peal off in the next eight hours or so. and better those covered fingers than a trip to the ER. Also I highly reccomend wearing safety glasses. I frequently find tiny blobs of it on mine. I clean it off with acetone on a Q tip. CA is too useful a tool to give up on, and I too struggled with thos funky little tubes, etc. :eek::)

Just in case there's confusion....
I am not sure if you are talking about the same type of CA glue as what woodworkers use. You keep mentioning the stuff in a tube, and that is a different product. Woodworker's CA glue comes in three consistencies, usually in 2 oz. or 4 oz. bottles. Though they can be allowed to air/slow cure like the stuff in tubes, they are designed to cure nearly instantly with the use of the accelerator/catalyst, which is a separate product.
Here's a link of a business that sells CA glue in bulk. I have never used them, but probably will. http://woodenwonderstx.com/WWBlue/NewGlueWS.html
