Default Shelf life for glue (revisited)

A week ago or so someone posted something about shelf life for glue. I
was surprised to learn that the regular white and yellow PVC glue had
a shelf life of about one year...



Now the inevitable question: Are you kiddin' when you all say one year
shelf life max?


Quite possibly the glue companies desire you to throw it out at that
time and buy a new, fresh bottle. I've used bottles of yellow PVA glue
over 5+ year spans with no glue problems.

Poly glue? Don't know, but once it is open, it should probably be used
as soon as possible, otherwise inevitably moisture in the air will help
the glue to cure in the bottle.
