Hello,

I had put my legal eagle project away out of necessity a long time ago and would like to start again. I had purchased a quart kit of fpl16a and marked it as new all the way in 2019. The label says resin is good for more than 1 year and the hardener, indefinite. I test mixed a batch and glued up a block. Everything worked as it should. I suppose $60 isn't going to break the bank for a new kit, but I hate to waste things. Especially chemicals that will just be disposed of. I would also bet that, given the obscurity of fpl16a, that a new can is far from new.

Any opinions?

Thank you
