At first this was great for my purposes: making jewelry. However, after only 4 months it became gummy and i can't use the half a bottle that's left. I always kept it closed and in a cool location.Also, no matter how careful you are, the brush splays easily and it becomes harder to control where the glue goes.I do love that it sits up well and has a brush, but I'll be trying another brand for my jewelry making.
