I know, I know!!!!!!!! It's got nothing to do with the air! Well, it has.. But not with the dryness of the air!!!! The glue reacts with the humidity in the air! REALLY!! If you left the bottle open, the glue which is in contact with air will "dry". Well, so actually glue doesn't dry! It gets just a bit wet and then sticks!!!!
Of course, all of us sometimes blow on the glue, when we want it to "dry", but it's not actually the wind as itself, but the moisture we breath on it that will "dry" it!

Hello there:
Glue doesn't stick to a bottle because it is not porous like other materials. Take a piece of paper for example. It may look flat and smooth, but it is made up up various other things which let the glue stick it to something else.
Glass is a solid matter with no layers or pores to let the glue seep in.
I hope this helps

Because glue bottles have repellent personalities. No, seriously, obviously (take your pick, go with "seriously" or "obviously") the plastic bottles are treated with a special emollient which doesn't allow the glue to adhere to the inside. Plus the glue needs to dry to stick otherwise its just sticky as when its on the inside of the bottle.

The chemicals in glue that make it stick has to react with air. So if you leave the lid open the glue will eventually harden in the bottle.

If you leave the top off the glue and let it dry/cure, it'll stick to the inside of the bottle.

The carrier in the glue has to evaporate before it sticks. Exposure to open air of course does this. Moving air will evaporate it faster than still air.

Glue dries in the air, so being in the bottle there is no air in there, unless you leave the lid off!

because you need air thats why when u open a glue pot and u dont stick the lid back on properly then then the pot gets jamed.

It does, it just doesn't dry out because there isn't any air circulation - if you've closed the bottle correctly!

because you are using the wrong adhesive go to the d.i.y. shop and ask them which the best glue for you to use because you are definitely using the wrong one
