I bought a tube of this glue a long time ago.  The lid fits tight enough that it is still usable.  I almost always use the fine tip.  It really is quite small but doesn't ever get clogged.  I have found this glue very useful for certain purposes particularly gluing 3D-type embellishments onto cards and scrapbook pages.  The consistency is rather thin but you can build up a bit around the edges of items if necessary as it dries.  It dries rather slow but I use it when I need an adhesive with that characteristic (i.e. aligning embellishments "just perfect").  Although I'm sure you could use it for paper or photos I prefer a tackier glue stick for those tasks.  One thing to note, however, once you have everthing just where you want it you can accelerate the drying process with heat.  I use my embossing tool.
