Shelf life of epoxy?

Hey all,

I am getting ready to start a build on 2 rods after being out of it for awhile. I was wondering if the U-40 Rod Bond and LS Supreme light build that I had used almost 3 years ago would still be okay to use, or if they have a shelf life that would require them to be replaced. I can't seem to find any expiration date on the bottles. I know I have some LS Supreme that has never been opened, but the Rod Bond has been opened. Thanks!

Pete

No shelf life. If the rod bond resin is a little crystalized put it in the microwave with the cap off and covered with a paper towel for a few 15 second bursts and mix it. It will return to the creamy consistency you know and love. You can do the same with the LS
