Silica gel in an airtight container

If it's catalyzed by water, then an airtight container with a bunch of desscant silica gel in the bottom is a good option. The stuff is used by florists in drying flowers, and costs next to nothing for a big bag. As long as you keep the container closed it should last a good while.

Works well for Gorilla Glue (and other PU based glues).
