E-tex...shelflife
 
I got some e-tex maybe 2 years old was going to use it to epoxy seal some plugs....I've never used it before...though I'd ask before I ruin some bodys...does it go bad? thanks for any help....ed

mix some up and put it on something, if it goes hard it's fine.

SC I have used it when it was two years old. No problem....The only hassle with e-tex is makings sure the mix is proportioned exactly right and mixed thoroughly.

I've used e-tex older than that with no problems. Way older...

Iv'e had e-tex that got all gluey on the bottom of the container, so I just used it up til I got there and threw that stuff away.

I've used One-coat epoxy & as it got old it began to turn white & crystalize...Sat it in hot water & it returned to clear & worked fine..As the guy said, test it on wood? Jim

Bought a gallon kit at a local hardware store going out of business.
When I picked it up, I noted to him that it was almost expired. He gave me the gallon kit for $20.......that was 4 years ago. Still using it with no issues.
