Hi,
I have to tile a bathroom wall. I have PLENTY of ceramic tile adhesive (AcrylPro, from Home Depot) left over from a previous tile job about 4years ago. I checked and it looks and feels just like a fresh gallon of the same.

Does anyone have experience with using "old-ish" adhesive?

I _already_ know the argument of "why take the risk?" but asking for anyone with practical experience using older tile adhesive and whether it holds.
Many thanks,
Theodore.

As long as it has not dried out, it's perfectly good.

The best answer would be from the manufacturer. If the product has ever been
frozen, it likely was damaged.

No, never been frozen. And not dried out.

I'm sure Philo is right, but another way woudl be to use some now on
test materials and see how it's doing in a week or two. You probably
won't get around to your project for another 3 months anyhow!
