Dear all, I've been using this 5-miute epoxy adhesive (very successfully, it's excellent). Thing is, one half of it has turned into an almost-solid goo that won't squeeze out. You have to be Arnold Swarzenegger to get anything out of the tube. Has anybody any advice? I already store the tubes upside down, and this does help.
 
Very easy : either put it in a glass filled with hot water for a few minutes or microwave it for a few seconds at a time.
It will be as good as new. Can't do that with gorilla glue however.

Recently I read a suggestion to separate the plungers by cutting their connecting plastic. It allows you to have better control over the dispensing each tube separately. I found this helpful when one tube has gotten thick forcing you to push harder resulting in the more fluid component to over extrude with connected plungers.
