The liquid "Acrylic Monomer" included in the kit is guaranteed for one year from date of purchase, although, if treated politely, it usually lasts much longer. It shouldn't be allowed to get too warm as in being stored next to a heat vent, or left, unprotected, for long periods in a hot car during the summer. Also it shouldn't be exposed to airbourne dirt and dust. Keep the lid screwed on except for when drawing out, or replacing liquid. [NOTE] In recent months the kit has begun shipping with the liquid "Monomer" sealed in plastic squeeze bottle, complete with a dropper type applicator and screw-on-lid rather than a glass bottle, so the contamination problem can be avoided... not to mention spilling and breakage. Regarding shelf life of the other chemicals, for practical purposes, there is none. Also, all of the chemicals in the kit, plus sanding files and mixing cups may be prchased seperately.
