Review on 🧩 MasterPieces Puzzle Glue 5 Oz: Preserve and Display Your Favorite Puzzles with Long-Lasting Adhesive Solution by David Causillas

From all the positive reviews I'm wondering if I got a broken bottle but this puzzle glue didn't convince me at all. Is this glue supposed to have the consistency of a gel? The one I received was closer to a solid state. Not only did I have to pick it out with a knife, but it didn't work either. It was very sticky, and instead of spreading, it just shrank and turned back into a lump. There were small smudges that I was able to separate, but instead of spreading, they just grossly smeared and/or clumped. This isn't my first puzzle rodeo, but my first time using this brand. I've always bought glue from my local hobby/coin store. I'm very glad I was wrong out of caution and didn't spoil the puzzle which is no longer for sale.
