Water base spray lacquer shelf life - KLaz - 03-06-2018
I was going through my shop and cleaning some stuff up and came across a gallon of JE Moser water based premium spray lacquer from 2006. It has never been opened or froze
Any of you finishing gurus think this product is still good?

If it's pink or smells rotten it's likely bad. If not, try it on some scrap and see if it cures well.

The proof will be in the testing. Some time ago Jeff Jewitt published something about shelf life of finishes and said that any waterborne should be tossed after 2 years, whether it had been opened or not. My very-less-experience-than-his is only with some Targert coatings stuff that sat in a jar for well over 5 years in my shop and was still good. I tossed it anyway (not enough for anything), but I'd test it and go from there.
