Lack of air action

Glue is made up of a substance that sticks to things and a solvent that keeps it liquid until you want it to stick. When you put glue on a piece of paper, the solvent gradually evaporates until the glue becomes sticky. When the glue is in a bottle, there is a space inside the bottle above the liquid that is full of air. So why doesn't the glue dry out? Well there's a limit to the amount of solvent that can evaporate to fill the space in the bottle. Once the space is full of solvent gas, no more solvent evaporates from the glue and the glue stays runny

maybe because the bottle is sealed and you need air to dry the glue. and because too much glue won't dry properly. i wonder if you left just a little glue in the bottom and left the bottle open if it would dry.
this is a very good question!

Lack of air to dry the glue

The bottle is not porous; meaning it can not be penetrated by fluids. The surface is too smooth; it doesn't have any opening for the glue to permeate and subsequently adhere to. This concept also applies to glass bottles.

If you leave the tip open and let the air in it will dry and then it will stick to the bottom.

Doesn't glue have to be dry before it sticks?? So I'm guessing that's why.

The insides of the bottle must be treated with some type of repellant.
