Default Does old PVA glue go off?

I've just recreated the classic chandelier drop scene in 'Only fools and

assembled with clamps, rubber bands and many squirts of PVA glue.

The glue bottle is a couple of years old, but still contains sloppy
liquid. Does it decline in assembled holding strength with age?


It goes mouldy eventually, 10 yrs or so, but remove the mould & what remains still glues ok if you can abide the smell.

In future I might add something to prevent mould. Not borax
