Seleant shelf life, Loctite 274
 
I have a couple of bottles of unopened Loctite 274 that have been sitting in my garage for a couple of years at temps from 0 to 90 degrees. Does anyone know really know if they are risky to use now?
I've emailed Loctite but I was hoping for some real world experiences.
thanks,
Chris

I'd like to know that too. I have (1) full bottle, and a 1/2 bottle. Both are two years old.

For what it is worth, the opened stuff still tastes the same.;)

It's about $10 a bottle. If I were putting together an engine and spending 40-80 hours assembling it, I would get a brand new bottle for the task.

Thank you, Wayne.
In that case, I will use the old 274 as an ice cream topping.
Mmmmmm.....L-o-c-t-i-t-e!

It's not the cost so much as not wanting to throw stuff out simply because of ignorance. There's no date on the bottle. For all I know, the next "new" bottle I get may have already sat on a shelf for 3 years.

That could be, but I don't know. I don't eat yogurt that's past the expiration date either - just not worth the tummy-ache risk.
