Hi, Do you shake the bottle well before use? Do you store it correctly?

I have been using this glue too and yes it is a lot runnier than other glues and this is normal for this product as I have spoken direct to the supplier, you really have to shake it well! It should be kept at around 19c if my memory serves me correct!

Ok I take back what I said the other day... Yesterday I done a set of lashes & noticed the glue separating with clear liquid in between. I've never noticed this before & my glue is probably at the 4 month mark now. Hmmm strange, wonder if the warm weather we've had on & off has had any effect on it? I shook mine consciously for a long time to make sure I was doing it right. I renewed my glue about 4/5 times throughout the set as I thought maybe it had been in my glue ring for too long but I've never had this before & I've not done anything different so may buy a new glue if it effects the lash life...

This happened to me with EE glue and I rang them, they said it must have been stored incorrectly during transport and immediatly sent me a new bottle at no charge. I now only order the small bottle keep it in a magic bag and replace every month. hope this helps

It's probably the heat. I keep mine on my beauty couch which is in direct sunlight at midday. The end of my last glue went funny, separated as you say and dried a lot quicker on my jade stone. I just got a new one and it's fine. Def think its the hot weather x

Cyanoacrylate glue breaks down in two ways. Either it gets stringy and thick and eventually dries out, or it starts to lose it's stickiness, and reverts to a puddle that resembles oil or sludge. I have never had a type of glue that has reacted this second way, but maybe this is what is happening to yours. It is important to store all cyanoacrylates in a moisture free cool place, preferably not in the light. Moisture and light are the two enemies of Cyanoacrylates you need to be concerned with. The little 'magic pouch' is a foil bag that would definitely protect the glue, as it would keep it in a dark environment. Seems to come with a desiccant as well, which would draw moisture away from it. If I worked with a glue that breaks down easily, this is what I would look into, for sure.
