shelf life of flexcoat rodbuilding epoxy glue

I've seen posts stating the rodbuilding finish will last indefinitely but have never seen anything stating how long the expoxy 5 and 10 glues will last if stored correctly.
Anybody have any idea?
I'm thinking of buying the quart size but it will take me awhile to use it all.
thanks

It will set and cure correctly many years after you and I are gone. It doesn't go bad. If the resin crystalizes, just warm it in the microwave or a pan of hot water.
