Lex Luthier Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 I just got another bottle of titebond because the cap on my current bottle broke, and I thought I'd use the cap of the new bottle to finish off what's in the old bottle. Anyway, I took the cap off my old bottle and off the new bottle, and noticed the old bottle STINKS like rotten eggs or something, I then compared it to the new bottle and it smells 'fresh' I guess would be the term. I am NOT sniffing glue, it's just when I removed the cap on the old bottle, the smell was hard to miss. My question is can glue go bad? If so I'll just chuck the half empty old bottle, that's olny 3$ worth of glue, and I just got another one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveq Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Yes - if you've had it for more than 6 months you should consider grabbing a new one. More than a year - definitely get a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Luthier Posted January 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Thanks guys, thrown out. I've also written the date on the new bottle so I know when I should get a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Good idea. I think I should do that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 I think I read somewhere on www.lmii.com that they recommend to "smell test" their glue. If it smells sour or rotten the don't use it. They should know about it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
