Default Glue gone bad?

I know I've heard that CA glue can go bad.

I was wondering. Is this what it looks like when that happens? Its still liquid, but has turned a shade of brown.

Thanks
John

If it ain't a rock it's probably OK.

The good thing about CA is it will only take a minute to test it.

We had a batch of Zap in the pink container..Thats the fast stuff...Its normally clear but it went a sort of yellowish brown colour and it did not work worth a hoot so it can go bad...I dont know what caused it to go bad.. We bought it that way..Several of us from the local hobby shop...He replaced the faulty containers for us..I think there was 6 all together...Possibly a bad batch from the factory???.I have kept some in the fridge for over a year and its fine...Some guys say to store it in the freezer but I just store mine in the fridge and it seems to work ...I think if you have it out and dont use it it will slowley thicken and finally become unuseable....I mostly use the thin stuff when I use it...I don't use a lot ...

I don't know why, but I didn't think about that until after I posted. Its still liquid, and I did test it just after I posted.. It still seems to work. Guess I was a bit worried about how well it would work. But seems ok.

Thanks guys.
John
