Glue shelf life
In this past year I read an article in one of the woodworking magazines
where they explained how to decode the numbers printed on the glue bottles of the leading manufacturers. As you can imagine a year shelf life is not a long time unless you working on a big project and to buy glue that's been sitting around...well you get the picture. So I can't remember where I read it & I can't find the info on the net and I need to get some titebond lll & was hoping to be able to determine how fresh it was. Anybody else know this info? |

Glue shelf life
Titebond....First number represents the final digit in the year made
followed by letter designating month....A Jan..B feb. etc. Letter I is skipped because it looks like a one. "Chris" wrote in message ...

Somebody gave me a bottle of Titebond as a gag gift. About 8 years later I actually used it. Worked fine. This was before I got into woodworking, obviously. |

Glue shelf life
Buying a smaller out of date bottle of glue isn't much of a help.

Or at least A picture. It's a no brainer, if you've got nothing better to do then worry about something like that, buy smaller bottles of glue.
