Personally I like Zap brand. but have had good results with others as well.
I personally buy mostly medium CA, as over time Medium become thick
I'm one of a few people who can say I actually use every drop of the CA from my bottles, actually refilling the 4oz bottles. If your not building almost daily. I'd suggest smaller bottles. keep it sealed in a zip lock when not in use. Yes I said a zip lock bag. with as much air as possible kept out. Moisture in the air, and the air itself is the DEATH of CA's.
Hope this helps.

Something to be careful about when putting CA in the fridge, to lengthen it's shelf life . . . just be careful of condensation. If condensation occurs, within the bottle, you could ruin your CA.

Calling a technique that works perfectly "silly" is itself silly. Especially if you have no long term experiance with the method in question. I don't see anyone calling your baggie technique "silly" do you? Even though nobody else has mentioned nor have I seen a "rep" reccomend it. If it works for you then that's great and I am happy for you. However your idea or method may not be right for everyone and those that choose not to use it are not "silly" just because you deem them so.

No offence ment and Not my words Bohica;.. 4 of 5 adhesives manufacturers technical (LAB) reps....guess I should have made that a bit clearer. but really, if you think about it a bit...Storing an open although capped container of a mositure sensitive material in a humidity producing appliance...what other word(s) come to mind?
Personally I don't mind gaining knowledge... weither i'm being corrected in the process or not.
As for the Baggie thing.. Your absolutely correct, I didn't think much of the idea either until a 3M rep. was the second who suggested it. Why do you think bulk CA's (quarts, gallons and larger containers) are sealed in polypropylene plastic, even though the individual container are also sealed air tight? He then went on to explained the WHY behind it. In short; Sealing out or limiting the amount of ambient air/humitidy (moisture) as possible from entering the bottle(s). Stymye's list reinforces this premise.
I'm simply giving you guys the benifit of (First Hand) conversations with the folks who Make the stuff we somethimes use in our hobby.
