I have the same problem with the small tubes of rubber cement that I
keep in the car. Even the ones that have never been opened are dried
out after a few months baking in the car. The best solution I've
found so far is to seal them inside a vacuum seal bag.

I built my own sealer using an Edwards vacuum pump and a syringe.
Harbor Freight is cheaper:

I have two tubes of rubber cement currently in the car that I'm
testing. My guess(tm) is about 9 months so far. I'll open it up
after 1 year. I suspect that the Zip-Loc type bags will also work but
probably not as well. I haven't bothered to find a Zip-Loc bag that's
the correct size for the tube.

I also tried using a pressurized outer container. The idea was to
raise the pressure outside of the tube to something higher than the
vapor pressure. In theory, that should have reduced evaporation.
However, the solvent managed to diffuse through the cap seal, and the
pre-opened tube was dry in about 3 months.

Interesting. How do you keep that from drying up? That is always my
problem. Just a few months after helping another rider fix a flat my
vulcanizing tube contents gum up, especially during summer.


Coat the tube with glue the first time you open it.

For $100 I can buy a lot of new little cement tubes or even whole patch
kits.

$20 is better but still too much for this one purpose. Plus clogs up the
garage more.

A few days ago I ordered a 5-ton electric/hydraulic log splitter. They
have it on a coupon-sale for $230 right now. To my utter amazement this
huge 110lbs monster still ships for a $7 flat fee, less than I'd pay for
gas to drive to the store for pickup.

Not sure if a CO2 atmosphere would prevent it from hardening. If so, I
could use the byproduct of the beer brewing I started a few months ago.
CO2 is coming out of the airlocks so there should be no chance of
backfeeding any nasty smells.

Note that vulcanizing fluid will vulcanize itself. Exposing it to
heat is a good way to make that happen. Cars get hot. This can
happen even when there's solvent in the tube.

What's the rule on that?

UH ON ALL OTHER TUBES including 3M Rubber Adhesive n the various liquid electrical tapes, a patch of grocery bag film over the tube threads, cap loosely, squeeze out air n tighten cap.

this works here in Florida.

The method does not work for small rubber cement tubes.
