Because the container is glue-proof, duh.

Most glue only sets up when it comes in contact with the air. Since there's little or no air in the tube of glue, the glue remains fluid.

Glue sticks when exposed to air.
Never leave the top off or it will stick (get hard) in the tube.

Glue hardens when exposed to air. There is no air in the tube, hence no sticking to sides.

The glue does not stick to the inside of the tube as as of yet it remains unexposed to the air molecules so therefore it does not dry out

Glue needs two sides that are porous enough for the elements to band together.A tube is one, and there is no air in the tube to help with the bonding process......Unless it is superglue which sticks to all,,,,,

because glue requires air to dry. If you leave the cap off the glue it will dry and stick to the container.

because the glue needs oxygen to react with it this is why if you leave the lid off the glue the glue hardens around the seal and is unusable

Well the glue needs air to bond, so until you squeeze it out there is no air for it stick!

Superglue is made from cynoacrylates, which require moisture and air to go off, without both of these it will remain a liquid in the tube.

Must be something to do with when it hits the air. It dries up and makes things stick.
