Shelf life of body filler?

[Svtfreak]

I’ve got some 3M platinum plus (my filler of choice, I know filler debate can wreck friendships so please let’s not discuss that here lol) leftover from my cobra project. It’s roughly 3 years old. Is it still good?

You talking about the filler or the Cobra? ;)

Lol! The shelf life of the cobra ain’t long at all haha

I found the manufacturer says 16 month on the unopened can. So I guess my opened can has to go.

Shelf life isn't a definite measure of whether the material is usable. Body filler is polyester based. When polyester goes bad it will begin lumping. If still smooth and creamy you are fine.
