I was cleaning up the shop and found about 1\2 can of both A and B in the back of a cupboard...it's 3 years old give or take, looks good , part A had an ammonia smell but went away after I stirred it.

Anyone know the shelf life?

Thanks Kenny I looked it up but I must have missed that...

Not sure how I missed those 2 cans..must have stuck it in there and opened a new can the next time, and never used it up.

Any I don't trust gets used on overlays and things that can be glued back on if it would happen to fail. Which I've only had overlays come off once, first time I used antler and didn't soak the porous side with CA and sand before gluing on...

Same here. I relegate it for use on other projects just be safe.

Yep...I was actually gonna throw it away, but maybe I'll mark it and use it for something that don't matter.

Bows matter.... ..
