Hondabond or?

I've bought Hondabond a couple of times in the past and it's excellent but expensive, £18 for a small tube of it. The really annoying thing about it is it goes off in the tube over time. I have tried most things such as stretching a piece of rubber glove over the end before screwing the cap back on, blocking the tube with a screw down the end etc but nothing seems to stop it. Being solvent based once the seal is broken it will tend to evaporate and I'd guess they are all the same.

Have you tried keeping it in the fridge? Should prolong it somewhat :)

Thank you all for your comments, I wlli order the Hondabond just as we know it works, how long do we have to put the cases together? I tried a test fit and it was awkward to fit the three forks in the right place, line up the rings and pins in the bearings ect, but now thats done once, its just the forks that are the pain. anyone have an easier way to line up appart from putting a csrewdrive in the gap and pushing the forks towards the respective gears :-)

I must be lucky, I bought Hondabond to do my rebuild nearly 2 years ago and it's still not set in the tube. As others have said use the most minimal amount, it'll almost seem too little but the close tolerance of the mating faces will require very little sealant.
