Shelf life of lacquer

Default Does lacquer go bad?


Question: I have a few unopened quarts of Deft lacquer that have been sitting in my shop for the last 5 years. Any chance that this stuff is still usable?
Thoughts of Chairman Al:
Most finishes are stored in areas that are subject to wide temperature changes. This will of course affect the contents within.  Manufacturers would suggest six to twelve months, I would guess you may be able to use it after 18. As for five years -  you could always try!
Good Luck
