  1. the hardening is caused by oxidation


  2. cuz they coated the inside with special stuff

  3. because when you let it out it is exposed to air and it hardens, within the container it's contained.

  4. Its activated by the air. Bottle is sealed.  

  5. Because it doesn't stick until it's dry, and when it's in the bottle it's still "wet". If the cap were left off, it would eventually stick to the bottle.

  6. in the bottle, the water in the glue cant evaporate, once it is out, it evaporates and it will dry to whatever it is stuck to.

  7. Why do people keep asking this question:

    Exposed to air=dries out

    In bottle does not = exposed to air

  8. because it gets exposed to the air?

  9. MAYBE ... this is a maybe . that the bottle has some kind of oil to not make the glue stick to the bottle.and.the bottle is mostly made of plastic and plastic ddoesn'tstick very well to bottled-unsuper-sticky-glue.

  10. There is no air in the bottle... glue is made up of chemicals that harden when they react to O2.

  11. the world may never know...

  12. because it is not exposed to air being inside a bottle, therefore it cant dry?

  13. maybe because there's not much air inside the bottle...
