I've always bought mine at the hobby shop, locally, he has it in 4 different
viscosity's and in 1 oz. and 2 oz. bottles. I only use those for the times
I'm going to treat a pinblock with CA.

For carrying with me for everyday purposes, I get a Loctite Superglue Gel
Control product that comes in a gray and blue bottle .14oz but considering
for most uses you would only need a drop or 2 it lasts a long time. It is
very controllable it has a squeeze feature on the sides that produces one
drop at a time. The bottle is very sturdy and I have no fear of carrying it
in my tool bag.
The best part is, it's less than $3 at Walmart, I think it was 2.87, I
bought 3, one for the shop, one for my tool bag and one for the "repair
drawer" in the house.

I have had the balance of a 2oz. bottle of the hobby shop CA harden in the
bottle after opening it even though I recapped it almost immediately once
air gets in with any humidity it begins to harden little by little and I
don't use CA all that often.
