I have the large bottle of Old Brown Glue that is 80% full with an expiration
date of May 2020.

I have always kept it in the frig. 

I have been using it within the last 5 months for various tasks and it has
appeared to be fine.

 But this email thread has me seriously worried. Maybe I’m wrong to think that
if it is acting like hide glue it’s still fine to use. The FAQ’s on the Old
Brown Glue don’t tell me how far refrigerated glue in the bottle will work
beyond the expiration date.

I’m bracing myself today to tossing it. 

Thoughts and Comments?
