Looking for a little technical advice from anyone possessing knowledge of such matters.
I have in my possession a 500ml bottle of Permabond A1062 UV Anaerobic Adhesive Bullet Sealer Wicking Grade. Looking at Permabond's web site it says this product has a shelf life of 1-year. I know for a fact the individual who gave it to me has had it for at least 4 years, probably 5 years - it has been stored indoors in an air-conditioned room without sunlight and has never been opened.
I called Permabond and was advised not to use the sealant, as it wouldn't be any good that long past expiration date.
My question to them was how long would it have been setting on a shelf before shipped to a seller and then to a customer - they basically avoided the question.
I've never used a sealant on reloaded ammunition but since this was free I thought I might give it a go but this product is some German technology for NATO grade ammunition and uses words that I'm not familiar with, so I though I'd try and tap into someone's knowledge bank to see if this sealer is safe and effective to use 4 years after the expiration date or if I should just properly dispose of it. There is not a date what-so-ever on the bottle that indicates the date of manufacture or expiration date - just a Batch # and that would only apply to the satellite office that sold it, as to looking anything up and my friend hasn't a clue as to who sold it to him - ordered it from Permabond off the internet - I think he paid like $90.00 for this sealant.
Thanks in advance for any shared knowledge on this product.
