How long does Smooth ON last?
« on: March 05, 2018, 09:38:00 PM »
I have some Smooth On that I bought 10 years or so ago. Never been opened, still wrapped in plastic. Is it any good? Its been stored (lost actually) in a shop with minimal heat and no AC. Here in Oklahoma I'm sure it has seen north of a hundred and south of thirty-two degrees more than once.


What do ya'll think, GO or NO GO?

I wouldn’t use it for anything structural.

Might be fine for riser overlays. I would test on some scrap pieces first.

Hey Roy-

I got the last batch from him but couldn't find it when it came time to use it and had to borrow some.

My Dad was straightening up "My Corner" of the shop (as he calls it) this weekend and found it. Of course he actually called to see if it was OK to throw out all those pieces of foam board and the strip with the light bulb sockets on it.

You know its been TOO LONG between bow builds when your stuff gets labeled junk!

I'm planning to do something about that soon.

Maybe he is MENTALPATHIC and knew what you needed before you did.  :)

Hey Kenny, feeling any vibes from me?

My wife labels my stuff junk immediately upon acquisition or construction.   ;)

I don't always lose things, but when I do it's because my wife moved them....

We have opposing viewpoint on proper use of the kitchen table, the breezeway counter, and pretty much every other horizontal surface. Her's is out of sight, out of mind. Mine is in sight, in mind.

Timeframes for projects is also a sticking point.
