These two bottles were in an old Cleveland kit from the late 40's. (Ambroid?)

Couldn't you have just put them in the Wayback Machine?

I remember stumbling onto a 20 plus year old barrel of Randolf Butyrate in one of the T hangers at Toledo Express. We hauled it into the maintenence hanger and started using out of it for a couple of Colts we were repainting. It was fine after increasing the ratio of thinner to dope.

I could donate a tube of unused glue from a 40's Berkeley kit to your collection.

Dope doesn't do much when it ages, may discolor some hence the Ambroid color. Unlike epoxies, polyurethane, and other high tech paint dope is just a solution pretty stable plastics with common solvents.

My tube of "Tarzan's Grip" glue from Australia (came home on Quantas in my luggage) finally dried out and went into the trash. It smelled and looked just like Duco, which is my 1st alternate to Ambroid. I tried SigMent when I was a teen, and found it was NG. Built half a StardusterX wing with it and it pretty much just fell apart when I took it up off the plans.
