These polyurethane adhesives are cured by atmospheric moisture. I seal the part used tube around the end of the nozzle and at the bottom with clingfilm and masking tape then store it in an airtight container with a tub of the orange self indicating silica gel beads which dry the air inside the container.
I still need to cut a small amount of length off the nozzle if I need to use it a few weeks later.
If not using it for a few months then I replace the nozzle with a new one.
Hope this helps.
Enjoyed the Donnington show, particularly on the Sunday, nice to see your car and the 250 SWB on Saturday night.
