A couple of drops of UnTite should do.

That's because it isn't as good at its job as the advertisers want you
to believe.
It has limited application only. No adhesive, to my knowledge, will
glue polyethyline, which is used to make bottles for SuperGlue and
other things.

Interesting. But those are more for mechanical bonds? ADhesion as
opposed to COhesion?
After you posted that, I also learned that there are dozens of
different polyethylenes. Who knew?
I can't imagine anything sticking to the white-ish milky polyetylene
(milk bottles/Tupperware).
In my countertop endeavors, I have been asked by butcher shops to make
'edges on huge cutting boards', and the only way I have even been to
achieve that, is by having a specialist 'hot-wire' welding technician
do it. They literally melt both sides of the joint. Those guys swear
there isn't glue that will work.
I am going to write away for samples. It would help me a great deal if
I could glue that stuff.
Thanks for the heads-up, Chris.

David,
Izzat a variation on "I've fallen down and can't get up"?
Probably a tossup between bandsaw, tablesaw, and dozuki.

I recall reading the the adhesive in Loc Tite (TM) is anaerobic. It
hardens
in the absence of oxygen, while the presence of oxygen prevents it
from hardening. So it is bottled with an air bubble deliberately left
in the bottle to preserve it.

Although not as strong as wood/wood bonds, polyethylene adhesives do
exist. For instance:

Have you tried drilling a hole down thru the cap and pouring paint thinner
in?

Try unscrewing the /other/ end.
I was going to suggest he tturn the cap in the opposite direction.
But upon careful consideraon of your suggeston, I believ your
suggsestion is prorbably more useful then my own.

If it's that good at what it does, why doesn't the top stick to superglue
bottles/tubes?

OOOOoohhhh
A mechanical engineering student was asked to turn off the water in a
lab and it was interesting to see him try counter-clockwise with no
results then watch him saying to himself whatever words he used and
turn the hose bib the correct way.

Better yet, give it to a kid. Works for safety caps.

Oddly, hot and cold often work in opposite directions.

I'd have to go look at my bottle, but are you sure the top is supposed to
come off?
I have a small pipe wrench that will take about anything off.

Take it back and try another one before you buy it - OR - let SWMBO try to
open it. :)
This was a standard off the shelf hose bib not a sink faucet. College

No, but at least you know the stuff works!
Seriously, is it a plastic bottle? Did you try holding it with 2 pairs
of pliers or in a vise? Heat will often work when removing fasteners
that have been loctited (that is a verb, isn't it?) but if it's a
plastic bottle, that would be iffy. I guess in a worst case, you
could cut or break the bottle and transfer the contents to
another container.

There are no known solvents for Polyethlylene, Polypropylene or Nylon.
That's why there are no adhesives for any of them. Or at least any
that are truly good.
