Does Abs Glue Go Bad

The bottom line is if it is still nice and runny, it is OK. If it is thick or shows any gelling, it is not. What to expect: unopened, a can of ABS cement could expect a shelf life of at least a year, if not exposed to extreme high temps. Once opened, 3 months is probably going to be it.
