30 year old Epoxy..Still Good!!

Working on my hard cover for my RTT, I needed some Epoxy. 30 years ago I built a few cedar strip canoes and small sail boats. I used West System epoxies. I had open cans of 105 Resin and 205 Hardener...With pumps installed. They were stored in my 55 degree basement all these years. I dug them out and mixed up a small batch to test and amazingly, it acted exactly like it was supposed to. On the West System web site they suggest there really is no shelf life for these products as long as they are stored without freezing or extreme hot temperatures.

Amazing products!
