I have some blue threadlocker that seems awfully runny. The tube is less than half full. It could be over 5 years old. Does this stuff go bad?
"According to Loctite’s manufacturer, Henkel, Loctite (loctiteproducts.com) does go bad. The technical data sheets of both thread-locker 271 (red) and 242 (blue) say that the shelf life of each is 24 months unopened, or 12 months once the tube is opened. This assumes storage at 46-82 degrees F. (Loctite should never be frozen.)"Is it bad if it freezes?
...if an ISO or TS auditor observed expired Loctite on the manufacturing floor, you would get dinged for it.
I’ve got some from the 1970s that stuff dried up like crazy lol. My neighbor gave it to me with the toolbox he gave me.Reminds me of the J-B Weld I have.
I may have that stuff forever.
