Refrigerate Fish Glue?

[qazzaq]

Do you guys refrigerate fish glue to prolong shelf life? Are there any glues that shouldn't be refrigerated?

You definitely should not refrigerate PVA glue (ie Titebond, Elmers etc etc), it might not do it any harm unless it gets frozen, (which would not be good) but it wouldn't benefit it either

Evidence suggests that fish glue benefits from refrigeration, but I have a quantity of fish glue the official expiry date of which was exactly a year ago, and it is still as effective as ever, despite never having been refrigerated.

I am fairly sure that fish glue lasts indefinitely ...

I think LMI recommends refrigeration of their glue to extend useful life.

I use Kremer Pigments Fish glue which has a shelf life of 5 years

I bought a gallon of Norland's fish glue four years ago. Just took out the last quart from the fridge yesterday. It's still working fine.
