My can is nearly a yr old. Last time it was opened up was 4-6 weeks ago. It was fine. But it's stored in freezer.

Thanks Knoll this one is 2 yrs old I didn't know about freezer storage on it , it might be good ,I guess I won't know tell I open it but don't think I want to take the risk limb glue up maybe save it for something less stressed to try out.

Don't have Uni bond where I live. Is it  a powder that needs water, or is it a resin and separate hardener?
The powdered only stuff might still  be okay. If its a resin/hardener 2 part it would be past its use by date, even if kept in a fridge(not sure about a freezer though).
Whatever stuff you have, do a test with scraps before committing with valuable bow quality stock.
Love urea formaldehyde glues but they don't have a very long shelf life.

Ritch....Smooth on will have an expiration date too.Keep the lid sealed between use.Something like 6 months or so but I've used it beyond that time.Looking at their web site helps.They have technical people on hand to talk to too.

Storing in a freezer CERTAINLY seems to help with Unibond 800.  I've lost a few cans from leaving them out in the garage a couple of times, but when I have kept it in the freezer I have yet to lose one.
