Hi All, I have a question do the flex coat products have a shelf life and if so how long is it?The reason I am asking is that I just noticed that my finish is all lumpy in the bottom and is changing from clear to a cloudy white Thanks Judd

No appreciable shelf life. It'll work fine and last longer than you will.

What you're seeing is the resin crystalizing from cool temps. Set the bottle in a pan of hot water until it returns to clear. Or, remove the cap and zap it in the microwave for about 8 - 10 seconds. Repeat as necessary.

This will not change the property of your finish in any way and can be repeated any time the problem comes back after a few weeks or months.
