Would you use 4 year old TB ll?
Think I'm gonna trash can it.

Titebond says shelf life is 3-4 years--I think I'd trash it!

As long as it's still smooth in the container, I'd use it.
If it's lumpy, ditch it regardless of age.
If it has been frozen multiple times, it will turn lumpy.

I would use it if it still looks new. However, obviously wood glue is not a big line item in your monthly budget... So going and buying a small bottle for a few bucks every couple years should hopefully be manageable.

What Ray said is usually what I do, glue will keep longer in certain conditions and I store mine (gallon bottle) in the fridg. I think TB even mentions this in one of the brochures (the lumpy part). I've had some that last 4 years and was still quite usable. That said, if it's a small amount I might go ahead and toss it anyway.

Went and bought a new bottle, not worth the chance of failure.
Thanks everyone!

At some point being a cheapskate (thrifty) is more work and injurious to production than a little investment.

I've always used the Original Titebond.
I'm working on using up 2 bottles that I dated 12/18
As long as it runs/moves in the bottle I'll use it.
I never remember having a glue failure with TB

This is for a cutting board..I've always used TB2 to be safe. Didn't throw away much and didn't buy much...lol.
Have enough of them out there it's not a high demand item anymore.
