Title: Old dope
Post by: Greg McCoy on May 14, 2010, 09:57:17 PM
What is the oldest dope you were able to reconstitute and save? I just poured some clear Randolph that was from the mid 1980's. It was thicker than honey, it thinned ok, I think it will work.

It was in a Fox red, white, blue, Goldstar RC fuel can. Remember them?

As long as it hasn't gelled, it should be OK. I've had some pretty old butyrate that I was able to thin out and use. Randolph's come out like maple syrup when it's new.
