turnermoran -> krazy glue brush issues.. (Sep. 15 2013 17:41:27)

props to the foro: I'm living the krazy glue life and loving it. Thanks Ricardo and others for the suggestion. And on a related note, some while back I posted asking if anyone tried combining it w/ baking soda. I tried the baking soda, as well as powdered acrylic. I actually find the baking soda to work better. I think I'm probably not using enough acrylic though.. it's hard to get the acrylic uniform. As for baking soda, I'll take some out of the box and put it on some paper. I brush some krazy glue on the nail, then press the wet-glue nail into the baking soda. After a few seconds, I'll take my finger and press the mix down, evening out any irregularities. once it dries, more krazy glue, some filing and smoothing, and the thing is indestructible. After a week or so, it will chip and come off in large-ish chunks, leaving the natural nail underneath exposed, but undamaged. Then I reapply as needed. But there's one problem, which I don't know if it's baking soda related, and the reason for the post: well before the glue is done, it begins to "gum up" in the bottle.. gets thicker..a little ball forms at the end of the brush. The brush becomes a problem to use, and the glue gets too thick. Though I wait till the baking soda-krazy glue mix is dry before applying more, it strikes me that maybe I'm introducing baking soda into the bottle and thus my problem. OR.. this is a common problem w/ Krazy Glue brush. Anyone else have this gummy glue problem? Thanks
