Ed, Why don't you sell or give away to a good home all your old paints and go buy some new ones that might have set on the shelf for a year or two...
I've probably got Floquil that is 40 years old and it works just fine...You know you need to stop worrying about some of this stuff, if you keep it up you are going to have to hire folks to help you worry about things.. gale----- Original Message ----- From: ed_loizeaux To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2008 3:37 PM Subject: {S-Scale List} Re: paint > I never > use paint more than a month old, > -Michael Eldridge Now Michael is one fine modeler. Wish I had his talents. However, I just happened to converse recently with the "expert" at Scalecoat regarding the age of paint, shelf life, and so forth. In my particular case, I have Scalecoat paints that are over six years old and have never been opened. I was concerned about using them and decided to ask the horse's mouth at Scalecoat for an opinion. He said they should be fine to use. Note that I have not used them, but just inquired about using them. Michael, bless you, I will probably now throw them away out of fear. Or, should I go ahead and use them with confidence? Once the bottle is opened, I understand the wisdom of not using the remaining paint for spraying later. But what about the bottles that have never been opened? Any suggestions about that?
