    Default Packaging Dates on Adhesive

    Just bought some tubs of Mapei Progrip Adhesive. The dates on the tubs range from October 2010 to Feb 2011. Are these best before dates or the date of manufacture? If the latter, how long is it good for.
    Any help appreciated

    They are dates of manufacture normally. Shelf life is normally given on the product data sheets from the manufacturer and are usually at least 1 year but sometimes more.
