Hello all, anyone know the approximate shelf-life of methyl ethylk etone peroxide (i.e. gel coat hardener)? I have a couple tubes that are a few years old and I'd like to use them.

Not worth taking the risk they have gone bad. Couple of years is what I would expect for MEK peroxide, assuming none of the storage was at elevated temps. -- Dave Kruger sometime chemist ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick Maun" <patrick_at_patrickmaun.com> > anyone know the approximate shelf-life of methyl ethylk etone peroxide > (i.e. gel coat hardener)?

That's what I figure. I was just having a heck of a time finding any today. Luckily this evening I drove by an auto parts store so was able to pick some up there. -Patrick At 6:26 PM -0700 10/1/04, Dave Kruger wrote: >Not worth taking the risk they have gone bad.
