True True.
I found a container of Carpenter's wood glue in the shed this spring that had been there for who knows how many years. Although it had not stuck to the inside of the bottle (these questions weren't mine originally but were meant to be jokes) the glue itself had the consistency of a non-sticky dough. Wondering now if I should have cut the bottle open and made a temporary "superball".
