<div> <font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The paints and primer can store almost indefinitely as long as they don't freeze. Once you open hardener it starts to absorb moisture and that is the problem. As long as you don't leave the cap off the hardener and store it in a cool place without temperature changes it can last months. You can usually look at the hardener and see if it is good. If it is still clear it should be good. If it gets cloudy that's when it takes on moisture and will not work.<br>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">These are great questions. The one thing I have
seen is that the hardener doesn't have a really long shelf life after it's
been opened. Depending on how you store it (cool storage areas are
better), it seems that it can degrade in as little as a month after
opening. It still works, but the gloss seems a bit diminished and the
surface hardness takes longer to develop. That's what I've seen at
least. It would be interesting to see if anyone has found a way to make
it last longer, for example would real cold storage work?</font></div>
