The inside of a superglue tube is sealed and protected from air exposure. Once the glue is exposed to air, it will immediately begin to dry & harden - as anyone who's had superglue on their fingers will testify to, it's a super-quick process! But of course, once all the glue has been squeezed out of the tube, a thin lining of it will remain on the inside.

All glues need chemical reactions ("curing") to happen before anything sticks to anything. I could be wrong but i think it needs moisture to cure. There's plenty of that in the air, the breath of the glue-applier, and the surfaces being glued. But there's none in the tube. Until the tube is old and nearly empty, then air gets drawn in, and the superglue isn't so much fun any more.

You are all wrong!! The real reson is because super glue is made by a tiny glue elf and he lives inside the tube. Now when you squeeze the tube he knows that it is time to pull down his pants and shite some super glue out for you..

It reacts to air and there is no air in the tube .

Because it has no air inside to dry it
