How long can the adhesive be stored before it expires?

The storage life of an adhesive can vary depending on the type of adhesive and the specific manufacturer's recommendations. Generally, adhesives should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, to extend their shelf life.

Some common types of adhesives and their typical storage lives include:

PVA (white glue): 1-2 years

Epoxy: 2-3 years

Cyanoacrylate (super glue): 6-12 months

Contact cement: 1-2 years

Silicone: 1-2 years

It's important to note that these are just general guidelines, and the actual storage life of a particular adhesive may vary based on factors such as the specific formulation, storage conditions, and age of the adhesive at the time of purchase. It's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's recommendations for storage and shelf life before using an adhesive, and to discard any adhesive that has expired or appears to have gone bad (e.g., has separated, hardened, or discolored).
