I've been using super glue for years - and always prefer the brush applicator - so when I saw the 6 pack and realized it wouldn't go bad unopened I bought this one. When the 1st bottle cracked at the neck I figured it was just a mistake - a bad bottle. Of course the glue was useless after a few days, but as I said, just a mistake. I even gave a 5 star verbal review recently. But now after opening the second bottle last week the applicator tassel wasn't attached to the red cap at first but after the second try it came out. There was no need to force it - it appeared after I closed and reopened the lid. Today when I opened it - when I unscrewed the cap I felt it click and the picture showed a crack. The glue isn't good after a day or two - and I suppose I can assume the rest of the containers will work the same way.
