Also resist the temptation to use up what you bought 2 yrs ago.
Can you elaborate on this shelf life? Are certain products more time sensitive than others?

Reason I ask is because the SEM product doesnt mention any expire or use by date. I bought & first used mine about 15 years ago, then used it again on the 72 endura nose 8-9 years later, it looked new and applied as new with excellent results that have lasted ~8 years with no issues at all. Also used it again a few years ago on some honeycomb wheels I restored. Still looks & works like it always has and I dont see any problems using it again in the near future.

Most of these 2 part products have a very long shelf life in my experience, definitely longer than a few months, never used the 3m or lord fusor so cant comment on them... but normal bondo fillers and JB weld etc should last for many years if stored right.
