Hi guys

I came home with a quart of Proseal and hardener from Airventure and recall
people putting the Proseal in a freezer to extend its shelf life.

The expiry date is Nov 2009, and since I won't be starting the tail section
until at least Sept, I am wondering if it's unopened, if it matters? Also
did anyone freeze the hardener as well?

Thx in advance.......

I store it in the frig not the freezer. It seems to work even after
couple of years of storage.

do not archive.

I do not know about the freezer, it is not water based. Refer might be preferred if there is no smell.

I do know that I had Van's 2 oz kit (bought last Oct) in my very cold garage all winter, and have used it with good results all this summer. Garage is in the 40's most of the winter.

Rick;

I do keep the proseal in the freezer. I have used it about a year over
exp date for non essential areas. I wouldn't hesitate using it on the
trailing edges/to bond the rudder/elevator if it was a little over the
exp date. I would not use it for the tanks. All you have to do is look
at the recent posts with all the trouble one has to go thru if you have
a leaking tank. Some have even repainted their airplanes. Messes up
the paint scheme which can take months to develop.

Hi Rick C
 
I put both parts in the refrigerator. It's a little stiff when you take it out but it has worked fine. Can't comment on the freezer idea.

I know some manufacturers had/have FAA approval for storing in
freezer, followed by microwaving so many seconds(of course only works
for non-metal sem-tubes). Like others, I store mine in hangar
refrig..adds to beer and soda flavor. Wink

I would recommend keeping it cool at least, you will need it later in the
project and it will keep for a long time if it is kept out of the heat. In
the winter I kept my in the garage and in the spring, summer and fall, I
kept it in the refrigerator. I did not have any problem with it setting up.

Put it in the freezer and it should be fine for the tail kit.
You may want to buy a quart or more of new when you get to
the fuel tanks. This stuff you can use for misc. jobs
for a couple years at least if you keep it in the freezer,
but use new for your fuel tanks.

Doesn't have to be in the freezer .... just keep it cold. The hardener
is the part that goes bad with age. I've tested really old Proseal with
fresh hardener and it cured.

I put leftover proseal from my tanks in the freezer for 3-4 years now. I needed to use some for the cabin top riveting recently and actually threw both parts in the microwave to warm up enough to mix (I wouldn't recommend this for any large qty) and had no problems with it. Setup just like it was new. YMMV and I would recommend a test batch for any that is past the recommended date.
