gel coat shelf life?
I have several unopened gallons of white and neutral gel coat. How long does gel coat live in the can? I noticed that my new polyester resin kicks much quicker than resin that is six months old. The gel coat is one year old, can I still use it? Thanks

a year is pushing it but i've done it. Do a test piece or mix up a small cup at 2% and see how it goes.

FYI. If you can keep it in a cool place, like a beer fridge, it will extend the shelf life.
