Title: Shelf life of Smooth-On epoxy??
Post by: StanM on September 19, 2007, 11:27:00 PM
I have some that is at least a year old, but probably not two years.  Is it still good?  Thanks,

Stan

I'm using some that must be at least ten years old.  Still works good.

Stan, I remember reading a thread here that talked about the shelf life. Most thought you were good to one year, and risked delams in limbs after that. I have used my old smooth on in other projects way past that, with no problem. I'm a little spooked to use it in limbs after one year.

A guy I used to work with did studies on just this for military applications back in the 70's.  He claimed it was well over 10 years.
