shelf life of CA?

what is the shelf life of CA? And whats the best way to store it so it won't dry up? I am thinking of buying it in larger bulk bottles but don't want it to dry up too quick

Thanks, Jason

 

the guys at my local hobby shop told me to keep it in the refrigerator and out of the light. no idea how long it lasts though. always used it up once i got it.

 

But....how do you know the little light goes out when you shut the door?

 

Good question lol, ya I usually get the small bottles and they run out quick so.I was thinking of getting a 16oz this time

 

haha well you could always test the little door button that turns it off when you close it

 

honestly with the rate we go through the stuf in this hobby I cannot see the shelf life being a problem even if you get the big container

 

I can't say that I've ever had a bottle of CA go bad. I think the key is to be sure you properly close the bottle as soon as possible after opening it. I usually use a small 1oz bottle with applicator that I refill from a larger bottle. I use a thumb pin in the applicator nozzle to close it, I find that works better than the usual cap.

 

Thanks guys

 

And here I was thinking that was what the cable cars and such going over the faults were for - to keep CA from going down and sliding off the shelf.

Cheers,
