Glue expiration

[Doug Jones]

I can't remember how to read and decipher the printed code on my bottle of Titebond III glue. I think its time I buy a new bottle so can anyone tell me what "5M5134" means?
Thanks

I hope this helps Doug! (I have NO idea why I remember stuff like this?) :eek:
I'm not sure why you remember it either, I'm just glad you do. Great bit of help. So I have a little shelf life left in this bottle.
Thanks,,,

Hey Doug,
The rule of thumb I was taught is that PVA glue should smell slightly sweet, when it smells like old shoes, its time to toss it. Having said that, I wouldn't use any dubious glue on any project that I had put any time into...;)
