was sold some bagged addy at topps the date on the bags was in may is this date a manufactured date or a use by date it took ages to go off thats why i checked the date

i'm pretty sure this is the manufacture date!
what make was it?

topp fix rapidset flexi

That is the manufacture date..that is how they can stock rotate for expiry etc... as most addys have a 12 month shelf life ..

Very good point. Speaking from a retail perspective, we very rarely have adhesive in store for more than about 2 weeks and stock is rotated as we get it

When we get new bags in, it could be stuff that was made 1 - 2 months ago.

They don't Doug thats why its a hard life being a Tiler and they quite often get it wrong we have all had adhesive that wont dry or goes off in the bucket
