So to any type of super glue to cure you need moisture, so taking out the moisture of the equation and we have the problem solved.

An easy and cheap solution to remove moisture is using rice, rice is a natural desiccant.

Rice as an hygroscopic will absorb all of the moisture in the air taking out the chance of the glue to cure.

Is that simple, no more glue drying up and no more wasting money.
