The flush handle on the loo came unscrewed and fell off, so I dug out an
old bottle of Loctite to put on the thread before reassembling.

As I tipped up the bottle, I noticed the label which said:

"SHELF LIFE 10 March 1993"

I don't suppose this is a record, but I do wonder if it will still be
quite as effective.

Just found out a half tin of Sadolin (full tin was bought in the mid
80's, might even been as early as 1983/84) & seems to have survived
without degradation. Hardest part was getting the lid off. Levering just
straightened the rim so had to resort to using pliers for grip whilst
levering.
Surprisingly the metal was in excellent condition unlike some others
which rusted away on the shelf.

Dad had a tin of Tensol Cement which said best before Aug 1969, and was
still working fine 3 years ago. Sadly, it got lost in a house move after
that.
