Titebond II - Turner52 - 03-02-2017
I have had a gallon for 2+ years. Still seems good and a test sample dried correctly and appears to be strong. Is it ok to continue to use it and if so for how long?

Second question on Franklins Q&A is about shelf life. If I am doing a jig, or project where I don't mind so much, I'll use glue past it's date. If I have time and or $$$$ invested I'll only use glue less than 1 year old. I have had some "goofy" results trying to stretch that timeline.

Titebond original, I'm working on using some unopened pints that are 6-7 years old. Still good.
I've got a unopened gallon that's about the same age.

If it's not thick, and spreads evenly, I'd say it's good. If it's not thin and creamy, I wouldn't use if for anything important.

Unopened and stored in the middle of its temperature range is probably the key to longer shelf life.
Or you've just used up all your good karma for the year.

I had some that froze last winter in the shop. I thawed it out, cleaned the tip, shook it well, added a little water, shook it some more, let it sit for 24 hrs, then threw it out.
Hey- It was only 7 bucks worth of security.

Franklin says that up to 5 freeze/thaw cycles will not adversely affect their product.

So Fred you are working on an heirloom piece for a Grandkid, and you have a brand new fresh bottle, and that nasty looking stuff that just froze for the 4th year in a row. Whatcha gonna do?
I'm with Daddo, except I'm taking the express route, and just gonna pitch ole Frosty Top.
