Because there is no air in the tube, but if you open one and re-cap it, you admit air and it will harden eventually.

How can avoid stucking hot tube together?

To prevent a hot glue tube from becoming stuck, always recap the tube securely after use and store it in a cool, dry place. Try to avoid leaving the tube lying flat after using it, as this can cause the glue to dry around the cap and nozzle, making it difficult to open. If the tube does become stuck, soaking it in warm, soapy water can help loosen the dried glue and make it easier to open.


Why the glue hardens when it is squeezed from the tube?

Glue hardens when exposed to air due to a process called polymerization. When glue is squeezed from the tube, it comes in contact with air, leading to the evaporation of solvents or water present in the glue. This causes the glue molecules to come closer together and form a strong bond, resulting in hardening.

How come Super Glue does not get stuck in its tube?

The reason it doesn't get stuck in the tube is the same reason a box of doughnuts aren't hard as hockey pucks when you first open the package. For superglue to work it needs air to make it hard, just like the doughnut. The chemicals react with oxygen to change the chemical structure so it becomes hard and sticks to whatever it can. With the doughnut, the water is pulled out by the rest of the air in the room and it becomes hard. We're taught in high school chemistry that things go from HIGH-LOW. The more dramatic the diff and the easier it can move from HIGH - LOW, the faster the change will happen. Hope this makes sense Super glue cures in the presence of hydroxyl ions in water. No water or water vapor in the tube of super glue will keep the nozzle clog free.
