I use Boston aqua glue. I had trouble at first with the nozzle plugging up. So I put a needle in, which has been suggested.
I keep my glue in the freezer. TomR suggested this to me and it works. Its a pain to use cold, so I have to thaw it everytime I use it.
I don't use it often, but I use it as well for household broken things. I estimate I have had it for 3-5 years, its been so long I don't remember. Use it maybe 6 times a year, if that helps.
It does not freeze, just gets very thick and non running

Tried everything and you know what works the best ....

Dollar store 1$ super glue ... use it a few times it runs out then open a new one

all the other bigger tubes get stuck shut or glued or dry up IMO so much better to by a small tube use it and toss it when its done for 1$ cause usually i am gluing a few things and the tube is gone by the time I'm done (re glueing frags the urchin took off) or making new frags

Just my 2 cents

I usually use the small tubes from the dollar store and it worked well for me.
The last time at J&L I bought a bottle of the Cg coral glue with the self cleaning nozzle "YA RIGHT" after I used it once I now can't get the cap off the nozzle any more, so it should be called plastic glue. So now I just use a salifert spoon to get it out of the bottle, 75ml bottle for $25.95. I should have just kept using the the dollar store glue.
But you know what they say hind sight is 20/20.

Just put the bottles into the fridge guys! Coral Glue is a great product, I've used more bottles of it than most (20+ of the 75mL and at least five of the 295 mL) and haven't had a single issue with any of them them. Works great for normal super glue gels also.

I used to keep my CG in the fridge but stopped doing it a year or more ago as I was tired of waiting for it to warm up.
I just wipe off the tip with a paper towel and screw the cap back on.
Bottles last me forever this way.

And for the comments about use under water;
It is doable and I've done it. You just need to keep squeezing while you remove the bottle from your tank and squeeze it on some paper towel. This will clear the water from the tip and then store it as above.
