That's getting pretty close to the end of the shelf life. I can't remember
when the company used to pitch it, but we could get it at the company store
(no longer in existence) very cheap with a fair amount of shelf life left.
We'd occasionally get the conductive (black) with an alcohol base and some
times the high temperature stuff.
The DC 4 and 5 didn't have expiration dates as I recall, but we could get
that at a tiny fraction of what it cost on the open market. Of course we
used to be able to go across the road and get Styrofoam (TM) 4' X 8' X 1"
sheets for a bit over $3.00 each. That's company store is not longer around
either.
