Does anyone know what the shelf life of this product is once opened? Months? Years? It is great stuff to have on hand, but I use it rarely.

The last to be used came out of a can set I bought 4 years ago. It took a little longer to set but it glued the item OK (plastic body work on a car), just make sure the cans are well sealed.

I just opened up some that has been on the shelf over 10 years, both cans 80% empty. Mixed some up and it cured hard w/excellent bond. A/B components were a bit thicker than new, but worked fine. Amazing stuff.

I have a small container (A & B in opposite ends of the same @ 1" tube) which I have kept in the refrigerator for years and used with success just recently.

I asked the company support this same question just yesterday & got a reply in lightening time. According to Scott at pcepoxy.com: "Shelf life is 2 years and (will) usually exceed that by at least another year +. 2 years is just a benchmark , most likely what you have is OK to use, most of the time if it can be mixed it will work." I specifically asked about PC-11 and PC Clear. I suggest checking out the website pcepocy.com. Very informative and covers all their products very thoroughly. They even have a gallery of project photos and uses along with a great chart of applications and recommended products. It's a great reference.

I have stored it for a few months at a time. Especially, if you don't open the bag, it will stay fresh much longer. It should have an expiration date. It has always tasted fresh to me.

I have used mine several times and plan on many more. I dry it out between trips for storage and re-soak when needed again. Have not seen any expiration data on the packaging, so I guess it's indefinite.

The supplier says it has a one year shelf life, officially, but is usually fine for a much longer period of time if kept in a cool, dry place. Make sure your seal is in tact upon arrival and if it isn't, let them know, they will replace it. There is no expiration date on the container that I have, though. They are very good at communicating in a timely manner, so if you contact them, you can expect a prompt reply and quick resolution to any concerns.

I haven't owned it that long, about 6 months. But before purchasing, I researched it and most say it has a shelf life of about 10 years if stored properly. Don't break the seal and keep in a dark place, fairly cool and a pretty steady temperature. I repackaged mine in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers which greatly increases shelf life for most dried products. Hope this helps.

Kind of a funny question because if you use it regularly as I do, it will be long gone before it can expire...no? Love this stuff, it does the job!

I was given my first bottle by my sister, and I haven't had to purchase another one yet, so I do not know the average shelf life of the product. Sorry! I'm sure the manufacturer would be able to provide this information.

Hello,This is a product that is best used while fresh. When properly stored, you may look forward to a shelf life of at least a week.Thank you!

I had the same question, so I contacted the manufacturer directly. They were very helpful, and said that the product has a shelf life of approximately 1 year. We store it in the pantry, and it's just hit the one-year mark and is almost all used up, and in my opinion it's probably lost a bit of its original flavor, but it's still very good. Time order some more!

I've only been using it once a day for about 1 1/2 weeks, so I'm not sure how long it will last. I just looked at the bottle though and it looks like I haven't used it at all. I suspect it will last for awhile. I should mention that I don't think there are preservatives in the product, so it may spoil before I finish the bottle. I may keep it in the refrigerator when it gets warmer to try to extend shelf life.

My order was fine. The only issue I had was using it up after it was open before it went bad. After 2 or 3 months of use the remains turned to a gelatin like substance. I was almost done anyway and the product REALLY works (especially if you combine with the soap). I would guess a sealed new package should stay good for quite some time.

I store mine in the freezer... I really don't know how much shelf life it has... I tend to use it up quickly...

Don't know the shelf life. You might want to ask the manufacturer. I kept it refrigerated after I opened it.

I bought it by the case. I really don't know exactly why there is a shelf life as it is completely dry and in a vacu-sealed package. I'll be honest, I've used it way past the shelf life and it was just fine.

I have used it a year ago and have some in my cupboard but haven't used it since. Sorry, can't tell you about whether it's shelf life it a year and still good. I will likey try to use it this year. It is sealed so should be good.

Well I bought mine this year and I have shared with family members and friends. Since it's only been a short while I can't really say what the shelf life is.
