[CAUT] shelf life?

[McNeilTom at aol.com]

Hi, Paul, and Colleagues -
 
I don't think there is any practical shelf life limit for most lacquer  
products kept in sealed containers.  Their 'curing' depends on the  evaporation of 
the solvents.  No evaporation, no curing.  But to be  safe, please test a bit 
of it on a non-critical piece.

Hi List, 

Does laquer have a "shelf life"?  I know that  shellac loses its ummph after 
some time, but don't know about laquer.  I  have several cans of the stuff 
that Richard West left for me, but don't know  how old they are.  They're at 
least 2 years old as I celebrated my 2nd  anniversary here at UNL last week.   
Time flies!!!    

Thanks 

Paul
