I'm getting ready to bond the new skin on my Horizontal Stabilizer. I plan to use Hysol because I'm not the fastest goo spreader out there- I want to take some time and get things right before it kicks off.

 I see that the Hysol I got with my kit is now exactly one year old, to the day. The data sheet on the Henkel website https://tds.us.henkel.com//NA/UT/HNAUTTDS.nsf/web/8C07DFC72FD5EC208525715C001BD343/$File/Hysol_EA_9360-EN.pdf says six months shelf life at room temperature. The Aerocraft catalog says a year.

 My question is: what have others done? Given the cost of the project overall I think I'll order up some new and use the old for non-critical areas. Am I being overly cautious? Any opinions received will be just that- what I do is ultimately my own decision.
