Yes it doesn't dry crystal clear and Yes it can take awhile to completely dry or cured (depends on amount applied, size of area applied, and the current humidity level upon application of the glue seems to have some minor effects of the curing time for me), but that's no really applicable on most things I use it for. The things that matter most to me (in no particular order) are the Price, Ease of Use, "No Clog" or easy at least to Unclog Spout and Cap, Does it do the job, and how strong is the bond of the application? I just used in on a piece of automotive plastic in repairing the windows, door locks, and vent controls box (plastic tab broke off) on the driver side door. Price was good for this size bottle, especially compared to any local purchases I could have made. This Gorilla Super Glue is very easy to use. It seems to have created a solid and hopefully durable bond with the two pieces that were broken. I rechecked the bottle after a couple of days had passed to see if the glue had sealed the cap on or even clogged the tip if it was gummed up and dried from contact with air. It looks like new and no hard glue in sight. I guess as long as you keep it cleaned and sealed immediately after use, it will stay clean, unclogged, and ready for use the next time you need it. Anyway those are the important things to me in a glue. Gorilla Super Glue really does a good job at meeting my requirements and in the end isn't that all that what matters to any consumer?
