3 - .34 oz bottles. "Use by" date - 6/06, but still works for me.

Now, about this stuff: I used it on the bearing that I used on my motor test & I'd like to get the bearing off. I can't find out how to do that. loctite.com is no help, although it does say that 609 is "Recommended for parts that will need subsequent dismantling". I remember reading that heat is used, but not how much. Too much would ruin the sealed bearing, I think. Thanks, Bob |

I *think* this is the stuff that is often used to seat barrel liners in firearms. I've soldered in a couple liners now. Looking forward to 10 more in a gatlinggun build. The plus for 609 is it is easy. The minus is that if I solder I can leave a bit of liner proud of the barrel tubing incase I blow cutting a chamber. Not so sure how you move a liner in 609 if I screw up.

BTW - I had email from someone who said that he has a 10 year old bottle of this stuff, so the 6/06 use-by is not something to be concerned about. We had a Loctite representative come give a talk to our local metalworking club, and the question of expiration dates came up. His answer? "GSA (Government Supply Agency) which buys and stockpiles things for all kinds of government agencies -- including the Army lab where I used to work -- *requires* an expiration date for their stocking policies. When it expires, the stock is sent back to Loctite, where it is tested and passes, is repackaged, and sent back to GSA (at a discount) with new expiration dates." It is kind of like requiring an expiration date on water. :-) So -- don't worry about the expiration date. As long as you don't fill the bottle too full (it needs some air in the bottle to keep it from setting up) it will last forever.

Thank you - that is good to know! At the rate that I use it, it will be forever before it's finished. It only takes a drop & it's not that often that I need to use it. Bob |

Bob Loctite is packaged in small cross section polyethylene bottles. The oxygen permeability is high enough to keep it from setting up. Put it in an airtight container, and it's done. It sets up in threads due to the long, tight diffusion path for oxygen. Pete Keillor |

My default guess would be to refrigerate - right next to the stockpiled last 4 rolls of 35MM Kirkland Signature/AGFA 400-24 Color Print that outdated 9/01. Back fridges are handy for things like that. -- Bruce -- |

Back fridges are handy for things like that. I still have 35MM film in my fridge also. Im not sure if I'll ever shoot it again. Digicams do excellent work but are not nearly as satisfying to hold as my Canon F-1. That Canon is one solid piece of craftsmanship. Lots of metal content also. Wes |

It's hard to imagine slowing down chemistry being bad, unless the inhibitor reaction was more temp sensitive than the polymerization reaction. That seems unlikely. Pete |

So we don't waste refrigerator space on something that doesn't need it, or is actually harmed by chilling or freezing. How hard is it to mark the Optimum Storage Conditions on the labels for things? Two or three words. Fruits and Veggies are a whole nother discussion of Storage. -- Bruce -- |

I used to keep several different flavors of thread lockers in the the refrig 'til I saw a reputable reference that said it doesn't matter.
