When the same discussion appeared in r.b.t a few years ago, I decided that quantity might be a suitable substitute for quality. I bought 30x tubes of cheap Chinese glue at a cost of about $0.50 per tube. https://www.ebay.com/itm/153039763013 That's the stuff used in bike shops and I've never seen them drying up either. I suspect that the contents are different. They certainly do dry up eventually. I leave a few tubes in my car in the automobile tire patch and plug kit. The tubes are larger, but the contents seems like the same glue and solvent. The tubes dry out after about a year in hot car. I suspect that the Rema "cold vulcanizing fluid" type adds some kind of vulcanizing accelerator to deal with the unvulcanized rubber patch. One thing I haven't tried is marking the tubes with their measured weight, to see if I can at least identify which tubes are lacking contents. Also, I've never seen a dry tube that still has some residual liquid rubber cement left. It's always good as new, or containing a small amount of some kind of white powder, and nothing else. Weird. I have seen plenty where there was still "liquid" in it but most of it had become gooey and clumped up on when squeezed out onto the tube surface.
