I've had a tube of epoxy for at least 15 years that I still use (not West Systems, got it at the hardware store not sure of the brand) and it seems to still work fine. I recently used it to repair a broken arm chair on my office chair which gets lots of use and it's holding up fine. |

I have some that is right at five years and use it with no problems. My hardener is amber now, but thankfully, I forgot what color it was to start with so I wasn't alarmed. Yet another small side benefit of dementia. |
