The previous owner of my model IV - 1200 gave me two cans of Loctite Hysol which are a few years old. He indicated that it was the proper adhesive for the rib to spar joints that I have to do when replacing the spar. He also indicated that it may have a limited shelf life although I don't see that indicated on the cans. Any ideas about this?
I also inherited a few partial cans of Polybrush, Polyspray and Aerothane which should likely date back about 15 years. All are still liquid although I have not looked at any of it. Still useful?

I agree that the Hysol being a structural component, it should be replaced.
For me, though I wouldn't toss it, just label it as expired. I am a
tinkerer at heart and old Hysol as an adhesive is probably better than the
fresh stuff available in hardware stores. I'd try a batch and if hardens
use it in non critical projects.
The Polyfiber products might still be OK with the exception of the hardner
for the Aerothane. Before tossing that stuff contact a Polyfiber
distributor and get the word. It is my understanding that it is the hardner
that has the critical shelf life.
