Have you ever used up a CA bottle?

On the very thin CA, I use a micro tip/spout and just leave it on. For some reason, that thin tube doesn't clog. Even after a month or so, it still dispenses just fine.

And, no, seldom have I had to throw out a bottle that went bad.

I'll just mention here that you should always use safety glasses or such when using CA. I had a tech that worked for me using it back in the 80's when a small blob of CA skinned over and then the pressure inside went up and the skin ruptured. It spat a drop of CA that landed on his lower eyelid. Could have been much worse and I have always used safety glasses or spectacles when using the glue since then.
 
I have used it all up many times. Time for me to order another one, now that I think of it. It gets used up pretty quickly when I build my night launch rockets to secure the led strips and wiring.

Yes. I've read one account where the person got a bit of CA splashed on his eye and he said it felt like he had a grain of sand on his eyeball for over a week. ;)
