Assuming the the top is closed properly, does it dry out if used infrequently?

We bought a set of this after seeing a commercial about it a couple years ago - it was a three pack, I think. I large, medium, and small one. We bought it as a "just in case" item and I have rarely had to use it - it works wonderfully. It's tricky though - and seeps through fabric so I would apply with a quick, light touch. It dries fast, too - a bit too fast for my. Anyway/// I hadn't used it in a while, but last year I needed to use it a couple of times on some fabric I was crafting with. The first time I tried to use it - nothing came out. I shook the bottle, but heard little movement and when I opened the cap I was disappointed to see that it had dried up - there was a thick skin inside. I thought I might go ahead and just use the bottle for something else so started to pull the thick, strong skin out and realized there was still some liquid on the inside (as it splashed on my hands while I was pulling at the glue skin). Once I was able to wiggle the dried skin out - there was some glue in the bottle and it was usable. After that I closed the cap and put it back on the shelf. The second time I needed it again - months later - the same thing - there was a glue skin covering the inside of the bottle that I had to remove and then there was some fluid glue on the inside that I could use normally. I was disappointed about that thick skin developing each time. I'm not sure how much of the glue is hardening each time, but it's enough to know I probably am losing a lot of this expensive glue just because it's drying in the bottle. I'm afraid to go look into the LARGE and MEDIUM UNUSED bottles that have just been on the shelf! Again, the product works a dream once you figure out how to handle it. Shame that it skins in the bottle though - hoping I didn't waste a ton of money. This may be something bought one small bottle at a time, on sale - unless you have a definite need for it.

Will it work to repair Muck boots?

I think it depends on what parts of the muck boot. This product is primarily intended for adhering porous and semi-porous materials together, like fabric and leather. I really question its strength with smooth plastics, especially under stress.

Does it dry clear? I want to fix snake leather tear on the shoe. Will it stay? If not, any other products to suggest?

It depends, on dark fabric it does not dry clear. I am not sure if it will fix a snake leather tear in a shoe - not sure if it would be be tough enough and flexible enough for that application.

I have a tiny tear in my motorbike seat. i presume it is a vinyl fabric. do you guys think this is a good fit to mend this before it gets bigger?

Tear Mender is perfect for this kind of repair! Your best option would be to purchase the Tear Mender kit that includes a patch, item #B000BQKER0. You would cut the patch at least a half inch wider than the tear and then insert it into the tear opening. Use your finger tip to apply Tear Mender to the underside of the vinyl and the upside of the patch and press together for about 15 seconds. Allow 2 hours to cure before sitting on the seats. There are complete directions in the box you will receive. Good luck and enjoy!
