Title: unibond 800 shelf life
Post by: gutpile on March 22, 2021, 11:40:51 am
I got some unibond 800 cant remember when I bought it..over a year for sure but stored in basement around 65 degrees.... it has turned a yellowish color but it is still the consistency of maple syrup... pours easily.... was wondering if it is still good... I ordered another can anyway... just curious what you guys think... I got about 4 bows I'm going to glue up.... gut

I have had it set up like a rock after in a month in the frig, found out you aren't supposed to put it in the fig, had it set up in  couple of weeks or months in the shop over and over temperature didn't seem to matter. I got mine form the Nelson Paint Co.

I don't keep any around now, if I need some I bum some off my buddy Darrin, he buys in quarts or gallons, I forget which.

Yeah I gave up on this and smoothing. I've been using g-flex and it's great, has a longer shelf life and I can get it on Amazon, 8 oz kit, 4oz of each part, makes a lot of bows for $22
