PL Premium shelf life

#1 Post by spiltmidi »

Hi All,

Just a quick one. I will be starting my first BF build in a couple of weeks. Just waiting on speaker arrival.

What is the shelf life for the adhesive?
I read on the MSDS that it is 12 months.

If so, I just bought a carton. So it looks like I will be building a few cabs. :noob: hahaha.

Anyone held it for longer?

Cheers in advance.

I've had it last 12 months after it was opened. It should last considerably longer if it hasn't been opened.

Hang on - it suddenly dawned on me that this:

Implies that Bill may have gone 12 months without building any cabs.

Can this be true?!? :noob: :D :fruit:

I use the giant economy size PL, so I can often get two or three cabs from one tube.
