Poly resin shelf life

[lvl]

Hey guys spring is around the corner so back to the boat project. I was all gun ho last summer and got a 5 gallon bucket of resin and some hardener from a freind of my Uncle who works in some kind of boat factory. It has been in my cool basement all this time and am wondering if it would still be good to use this summer? It is for a transom and floor project and hope to never have to do it again once I'm done at least on this boat (SHHH dont tel my wife)

Cool Dry Basement, Out of Direct Sunlight and heat, You should be Good to Go. Mix up a small batch and see if it Kicks Off correctly.

Have you opened it yet or is it still factory sealed?

The official shelf life would be around 3 months, but in the right conditions can last longer. You won't know if its good until you test it.

Don't open it until you're ready to use it, it will age rapidly after its exposed to air.
