Elmer's School Glue goes bad
|
I was surprised to find out that Elmer's School Glue can go bad. My husband was in our school supply drawer looking for wood glue to fix the kitchen drawers. He asked if our Elmer's Washable School Glue was wood glue since the color was brownish yellow like what he was looking for. I opened the bottle and sniffed. Ugh! What a mistake. It was obviously past its useful life. I looked at the bottle, but found no expiration date. Only the following stamp: M09C112 which meant nothing to me. So I went to their website and in their FAQ they state: "If stored properly and capped tightly, Elmer's school glues and wood glues have an average shelf life of 2 years; Krazy Glue, also known as a cyanoacrylate, has a shelf life of approximately 12 - 18 months." So, this glue was obviously over 2 years old. |
