Anyone have any advice for keeping the tips open. I use the EZ Bond and continually have to cut the tips or use a sharp pen to open.I am sure someone has a tip for this issue.Thanks
So Wade, I take it you don't put the cap on your CA glues, including the thin stuff?
Caps off for me too. Never have a clogged tip. And no, it will not evaporate.
1.) Keep the cap off; and 2.) make sure when applying glue that the tip doesn't touch the surface of the paper towel, etc. (add drops) that you are using to apply your CA finish.

This sounds promising and I'm going to try it myself, but I'm curious..... I have other bottles of liquid that I leave the cap off of like a squirt bottle of BLO for example that VERY QUICKLY accumulates a GLOB of saw dust, dust dust, wood chips, etc..... stuck to the tip like mashed potatoes to a chickens beak. Doesn't your superglue do the same thing?

First off, that is a great analogy. I wish my students would come up with stuff like that. Second, I keep my uncapped CA bottles on a little shelf that is behind me while I turn, so most of the wood chips/saw dust hit me instead of getting all over them.
