Titebond II - GOVOLS - 11-19-2015 Does this have a shelf life ? Have half a bottle that is a year old. It has been in the shop but I have no heat or cooling. The elements of East Tennessee hills is Very Hot in summer and cool in winter. GOVOLS Re: Titebond II - JGrout - 11-19-2015 IME if it is not stringy or curdled you should be OK. separated is fine just mix it up well before use. Re: Titebond II - jteneyck - 11-19-2015 On the other hand, glue is cheap compared to your wood and time. John Re: Titebond II - fredhargis - 11-19-2015 What Joe said has been my experience. From the Titebond web site:"Most of our yellow and white glues, including Titebond Original and Titebond II, remain usable beyond two years" I would try find a more stable pace to keep it, though. Re: Titebond II - R Clark - 11-19-2015 The TB website has good info about how to determine if you're OK with a bottle past it's stated shelf life. Re: Titebond II - Doug_H - 11-19-2015 Its probably OK. However, it would take only 24 hr to test a sample joint (two pieces of scrap.) In my experience (NE Florida) it stays fine in a garage workshop that gets very hot in summer. Freezing probably spoils the emulsion. Doug Re: Titebond II - WoodTinker - 11-19-2015 If memory serves me, there should be a letter indicating (a for Jan, b for Feb, etc.) when the glue was manufactured. Re: Titebond II - fredhargis - 11-19-2015 Doug_H said: Actually, Franklin claims that it can through as many as 5 freeze/thaw cycles without being damaged. They also go on to say they don't recommend it.......
