I have had an unopened tin of Rockhard and the reducer for about 4 years. Is it still useable? Any guesses as to how long it can be stored? It's been in the shop, temperature ranging from about 55 to 75 deg. F, (humidity 40-45 RH) |

If it's still liquid, and has not skinned over, I'd say try it. It would be a good idea to test it first on some scrap, though, just in case. If it dries pretty well (say, in four-six hours) on something like spruce, go for it. My experience is that it an be slow to dry on an ioly wood, taking as much as a week on somew tropical stuff, so don't test it on rosewood or ebony. |
