Hi.  My name is Pamela Maganuco and I go to Sultana High School.  I was 
wondering why glue doesn't stick to the inside of the bottle and comes out 
wet, yet when you put some on a piece of paper, it dries fast.  Why is 
this?  Does it have to do with what the bottle is made of?
Thanks for your help!
