Your lid should never have any black residue on it or you will eventually not be able to open your bottle.   This is entirely preventable!

Step 1: Take your lid off the glue BEFORE shaking

Step 2: Shake adhesive vigorously with glue wipe on the nozzle

Step 3: Clean the adhesive nozzle after use by holding your bottle upright and puff the bottle a couple of times to clean the inside of the nozzle. 

Step 4: Wipe down the outside of the nozzle

 Step 5: double check, there is no adhesive in the chamber of the nozzle 

We recommend storing your adhesive in a dark airtight container
