Bad cheap chinese glue

[Snek]

I guess I'm not gluing today...

As you can see my 5€ bottle of glue from AliExpress is unusable. It's squishy and doughy throughout the bottle. I got this only 5 months ago and seal was untouched. Opened the bottle today. Bottle is unbroken. How? Let's see if I can get my money back from Ali😭

Sueke by any chance? I've had similar results which I think may have been due to cold temperatures in transit. It took very long to arrive, too.

Air has come into the bottle after sealing it I guess. Not that tight seal...

It may have been frozen or the ammonia may have migrated out of the bottle through the plastic. Do you still smell the ammonia and is it weak? If you want to try something, get some ammonium hydroxide to try to revive the glue and if it works transfer the glue to a boston round glass bottle.

I keep both my opened and the unopened bottles of SUEKE glue in the fridge at about 6 degrees centigrade and it lasts months.

Do you believe that during heavy winter the temperature in warehouses, trucks, cargo airplanes in China and Finland is greater than 6 degrees Celsius?

yes I do actually 😁 and of course because I store some medical stuff in my fridge it must be constantly between 4 -8 degrees and not even in Siberia and Alaska the temp is "constantly " that low.

Thanks for the personal attack, it really discredits my experience effectively.

 

[K.K]

i had this several times over the years with different glues. i think it happens more with heat. the tt shop in my town had the glues stored next to the window with the sun shining on. but they always gave me a new one when it happend

😂 Sorry about that, I am often grumpy in the morning especially when i have not had my smell of Napalm yet.
I was especially pissed off about you singling out SUEKE because after trying just about every darn glue on the market this now is my favorite.

Do you keep your glue in the same place where you store your food. I know most wouldn’t be comfortable putting glues/boosters in the same fridge as their food.

I heard DHS No. 15 glue lasts a lot longer without having to put it in a fridge but of course its 2-3 times more expensive than Sueke.

 

[longle]

ah the Liulan glue, I've used 3 bottles of it and faced no issues, but I always use it all in about 2 months

Well.......yes, everything is in the fridge together but of course food and glu
e and boosters are not contacting one-another.

As far as pricing is concerned, DHS 15 is available in NZ for NZ$ 62 for 500ml ,this includes postage. Sueke glue is NZ 65.60 for 2x 250ml incl. taxes and postage from Aliexpress

It looks like it is better for you to get the DHS No 15 over Sueke glue in NZ unless you buy directly from Taobao or using third party shipping service such as Sugargoo where they can buy the Taobao goods for you.

I can relate... Only had one cup so far.
Anyway, I was mainly trying to relate my experience, not trying to single out the brand. Could have been any bottle stuck for weeks in a freezing airport somewhere.
And could be that freezing wasn't even the problem. But the result was a bottle of dried up latex

I just keep em in room temp. Both Sueke, Suke and never had issues for months. But I don't remember issues with DHS no15 or Revo either. Only glue that dried on me was a tube of Stiga Power Attach, aka Nittaku Finezip.

I've had it with DHS No 15 as well, it just turned into the solid mass, with a foul ammonia smell.
