Does ProGold have a shelf life?

So I'm sitting here using my G100 applicator on my new system and I'm realizing that I've been using the same bottle of this stuff for like five years.

And then it occurs to me -- well, you just finished DeOxing all of those connections (the DeOxit is relativley new) getting them nice and sparkly, and maybe you just wasted all the effort by spreading defunct ProGold all over them.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

why not check with the manufacturer, CAIG, right? This is a chemical/formulation/shelf life issue and they should know. Let us know what they say!

Here's your answer straight from Caig:

Thanks guys! And of course, BUMMER. It does have a shelf life, and even if I take an optimistic interpretation of "conservative ratings" of 2-3 years, 5 years is too old.

How fun for me to redo all of that.

Sometimes this hobby can be annoying.
