I purchased this tube of Hondabond HT in Dec 2021.
Upon closer inspection, the code on the bottom of the tube says "Lot U21E29 JD 21162." Since HondaBond HT tubes do not list an expiration date like the Toyota FIPG tubes, I reached out to a contact at Threebond. My contact advised that this product was manufactured in May 2021 and is expired. Apparently, this particular Threebond product only has a 9-month shelf life when unopened.
Needless to say, this tube is going in the trash. It is always a good idea to verify expiration dates for products that could result in a costly redo. RTV is becoming one product where shelf life is highly variable and must be carefully monitored.
