Default Shelf life for glue (revisited)

I'm not trolling. I've better to do with my life.

I'm serious. I have this yellow PVC glue made by "Lepage". It's called
carpenter's glue (3000 pound). I've use it when I was 15 while taking
woodworking class.

I packed it up and never used it until just recently. I'm now 35 and I
started to use it last year. Make your own math... I can even send it
to you if you don't believe me.

As the others mentionned, I think also it's all in the interest of the
glue manufacturers to let people believe their product have to be
replaced on a regular basis.



Time will tell, won't it. For me, I spend the extra couple of bucks to rule
out glue failure several years down the road that may be caused by an
expired shelf life. But, if your glue lasts you 18 years, you may never use
enough that it would matter.
