If others are having the same trouble, they havn't let me know about it. But I've seen the same scenario play out with others over the years. sometimes taking a break from it and using something else does the trick.....I would suggest trying the walker safe grip glue since you like the creamy white glue texture....and then maybe trying the other glue at another time down the road.
Or as you put it...maybe your time has passed with this glue...for now. I'm so sorry its not working out for you. email me and I can send you a sample of the safe grip if you want.
