Hi All I have some fish glue that is apx. 8 months old and there looks to be some separation. Picture below. Before I get in touch with Lee Valley about this, has anyone seen this? Is it normal and I should just stir/shake it back up? It has been in my temperature and humidity controlled shop for the entire time. Thanks - Mike Attachment: IMG_4864.JPG

Hi Michael, I use fish glue all the time and do notice that it will separate a bit when left sitting for a long time. I go through a pile of this stuff and my bottles never last more than 3 months before they are used up, so I've never seen them separate like your. My guess is that if you stir it up you'll be fine. It does have a shelf life of around 2 years. If I grab a new bottle that has been sitting a while I will tip it up and down several times or give it a quick stir. My guess is you are ok to keep using it, but maybe some others can add there thoughts as well. |

Michael. note the Storability - Excellent (Freeze-Thaw Stable) I split my bottle up, and store them in the freezer. In small plastic bottles, it only takes a coffee break for one to be ready to go. (Same for my made up Hide glue) |

I've had that happen multiple times and just shake it up. Works for me. |

Fish glue should always be shaken or stirred well before use, as it does settle and separate. |
