Hey.

There’s a chap on eBay selling packs of out of date Loctite products, including the blue one I want (and the anti-seize I already have!).

Will this stuff work, or should I buy elsewhere with a use by date that’s sometime in the future?

Thanks!

Problem is, if it’s crap, then you’re stuck with it.

I used some out of date stuff probably off same guy and it seemed okay.
Edit actually checked I got my stuff from blueloctiteman on Ebay

From experience with mastics and silicones, they do go off wether sealed or opened.

Why not just buy a tube of the blue 248 in date from halfords for about £8.99 or somewhere else if you can find it cheaper? It’s only going to get older and they will probably last you a long time.

edit: £6.99 now, it’s gone down: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_199363_langId_-1_categoryId_255230

Thanks all – it turns out I need primerless blue loctite which is 243 not 248, so it’s kind of moot. That said, I remain tempted!
