Default Real quick zaino question

I did a search with no luck...
What is the shelf life for Z1 and Z2? I have a good amount left but its almost 2 years old. It smells ok and looks ok, but I thought I read somewhere thats its no good after a year.

That's a good question, I think to get the correct answer it would be best to give Sal a call at Zaino.

I would have to disagree with the shelf life of the ZFX. I got some from a local guy who said it was about 3 months old and it had turned into a gel. ZFX hasn't even been around for 5 years so I think that the shelf life is a little shorter than that.

I'd bet the ZFX was exposed to extreme temps or he left the cap loose where air could get to it. That is the first I've evr heard of the ZFX geling.

I order and distribute chemicals for Boeing.Everything has a shelf life.After one year many formulas start to break down.

The mechanics always want new stuff....it always performs better.

One exception would be Alkyd oil base paint....that sh*t never goes bad.
