Is Fray Check like a glue that solidifies, or can I use a bit, come back in 6 or 12 months and use again? Do the contents become unusable over time?

Fray Check hardens a bit when exposed to air. When it's dry on fabric, it is a little stiff. But it has remained a liquid in the bottle for several months, and is reusable.

If you can find a way to hold the two things steady until this stuff dries, it should work. You do have to mix it well. I had good luck applying it with a toothpick. You don't need much if the parts are not under stress tending to pull them apart. It works just like solder but you apply it like glue. Best for tight/small situations. I would not use it for medium/large wires or components.

Maybe not. I've had it for 3 months and used it occasionally on a matted floor indoors and it's already frayed.

It will degrade once opened, and also with time. I can't comment on exactly how quickly it degrades but if you are dealing with a wound so serious that you are thinking about using a product like Celox, you will probably want to use it all anyway. If it's to control bleeding for someone prone to small cuts who is taking blood thinning medication, for example, you can get smaller packets.

My suggestion would be to do LOTS of tests on scraps of the same lot of wood you'll be using for the repair, sanded to the same level, etc. And keep careful notes about your careful measurements for your color tests. But keep in mind that both the existing wood and what you're doing now will both continue to age, and even if they are a perfect match now they won't be forever. For a true long-term match don't try to match it now and just let it age like the older stuff did.

I have used this product for many years and there is no indication that after 4-6 years of storage any problems with adhesion. Works like new.

It can be reused, but I would not suggest doing so, if you have diluted it, or if it has been contaminated by bits/fibers of whatever you're dipping into it.

No experience with tearing because I haven't had that problem. However, I am a seamstress, and I'm wondering if there isn't a type of fabric glue that would seal the edges and prevent further fraying. Check with a craft store such as Joann Fabrics or Michaels. Perhaps there are vinyl patches you could apply also.

It usually is the optimal material. It will outperform all other pastes, but may require more maintenance. Depending on usage, you might have to replace it once every 6 months to a year as it will dry out. Also, it'll stain the copper on your block and you'll need to scrub it down. If you don't care about these two things, go for it.

That's hard to say exactly. If you use a couple of drops each time (like it recommends) it should last for months, or longer.

In reality nothing last forever. I'm planing to used a couple times and discarted..yes PVC not only crack but tend to get cold that how lose it flexibility and cracks using it with nylon looks more stronger.. But we see if pass the text.

I would suggest more than 6 months. It is a liquid and unlike my home made corn syrup and borax, this must have some form of thinning agent that prevents it from hardening. Because it is not poison rather a salt compound I doubt it would decrease in potency over time so as long as it is liquid it should be good to go.

Wow I don't know. I have very successfully used this product for over 30 years. I have used it to repair rotted fascia boards, windows etc ... How this wood hardener works is by making the cellulose as if it were the original wood. You remove as much rot as possible right down to sound wood. It is then allowed to dry and the void filled in with Minnwax wood filler (like Bondo). I have one wooden door that should have been a goner but here I am twenty years later and my repairs are still holding. I don't know if this chemical would be appropriate for a cutting board but for other repairs fabulous. Hope this helps. You can also call the 800 number on the can. Wow I don't know.

Probably temporarily but I'd go with something like Elmer's pro bond. It's really strong.

Use Tite-bond III and leave it clamped for 24 hours. Also be sure you brush the glue over all surfaces that will be touching in an even layer, not too thin but not thick.

I did not reuse any of the grit from any of the 4 steps. The post tumble solutions are very chalky and thick. The grit is relatively inexpensive so I just disposed of the residue from each step. I have only completed two batches so I am open to anyone else's suggestions.

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!
