Does Future have a shelf-life?

I was wondering if Future has a shelf-life like paints do?
The bottle of Future I have is at least 5-6 years old and I was wondering if it is still fine to use it? I am assuming that time has no effect on this product, correct?

Thanks

Mike

no fefffects. i have a bottle of future that is almost 20 years old, and works just as good as the new ones

20 yrs old???
Shouldn’t you rename the bottle “Past”[^]

Perhaps … “Days Of Future Past” (If you don’t remember the Moody Blues you wouldn’t understand [:D])

I’m amazed it would last that long to. I guess as long as it doesn’t dry up or turn yellow there really isn’t much to go bad.

As long as you keep the bottle tightly sealed it will last a long time, which is good because a bottle of Future will last for a lot of models.

My last bottle is about ten years old, and it is definitely less clear. I’d hesitate to call it yellow - more like slightly murky. The models that I used it on don’t seem to be affected. I bought a new bottle to celebrate finishing an Airmodel vacuform AJ Savage, a project that’s been lingering for almost 20 years.

Last year I finally used up a bottle of Future I have had since 1983 and promptly went out an bought a new bottle of the stuff. I did find out as soon as I opened the bottle that the new bottle of Future was a slightly different formula. Somewhere in those years (decades) the Johnson & Johnson company added…LEMON SCENT? I was relieved to find out the new Future still worked the same.
