How does glue stick to things if it doesnt stick to the bottle?
When you squeeze the glue out of it's container, it makes contact with air, therefore evaporating the water molecules and drying it onto the surface of which you are gluing. So the reason why glue doesn't stick to the inside of the bottle is merely because the top is (hopefully) sealed, denying air access to the glue inside, so the water molecules remain intact. Hopefully you found this resourceful.
Why doesn't glue stick to inside of the glue bottle?
Another great and puzzling question. Why doesn't glue stick inside of the glue bottle. Glue on paper: As the glue connects with oxygen it becomes sticky and if left to dry in this oxygen it becomes hard and keeps multiple things together. Glue inside the bottle: Glue doesn't stick inside the bottle because the chemicals within the glue is triggered by oxygen (what we breathe) so when the glue bottle is opened it triggers the chemicals to make it sticky. That's why if a bottle if left out with no cap the glue becomes quite hard. Glue won't completely stick unless it's dried, and because inside the bottle, the glue is still air locked in and not dried, it doesn't stick.

Why doesnt glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
Glue is made up of a substance that sticks to things and a solvent that keeps it liquid until you want it to stick. When you put glue on a piece of paper, the solvent gradually evaporates until the glue becomes sticky. When the glue is in a bottle, there is a space inside the bottle above the liquid that is full of air. So why doesn't the glue dry out? Well there's a limit to the amount of solvent that can evaporate to fill the space in the bottle. Once the space is full of solvent gas, no more solvent evaporates from the glue and the glue stays runny
