Does portland cement get "stale"?
Does bagged ordinary portland cement get stale after a while? --in
other words does it lose it's ability to perform up to it's specification? If so, how can I tell if its not worth using? I have about 5 sacks that have sat in my garage for several years. While the powder hasn't hardened its somewhat cakey or crusty. --Zeb |

I was in the same boat as you last fall, with a couple of old bags in
the garage, probably about four-five years old. Wanted to use them to set a fence post. Did some googling and while I don't remember the exact reasons, etc. Basically it won't work. So, I spent $13 on a bag of rapid set, which nearly set too quick (15 minutes and that stuff was HARD). |

If it's been in there for years then forget about using it.
