In this past year I read an article in one of the woodworking magazines
where they explained how to decode the numbers printed on the glue bottles
of the leading manufacturers. As you can imagine a year shelf life is not a
long time unless you working on a big project and to buy glue that's been
sitting around...well you get the picture. So I can't remember where I read
it & I can't find the info on the net and I need to get some titebond lll &
was hoping to be able to determine how fresh it was.
Anybody else know this info?

Yeah I get the picture. Or at least A picture. It's a no brainer,
if you've got nothing better to do then worry about something like that,
buy smaller bottles of glue.

Somebody gave me a bottle of Titebond as a gag gift. About 8 years later I
actually used it. Worked fine.
This was before I got into woodworking, obviously.
Buying a smaller out of date bottle of glue isn't much of a help.

Titebond....First number represents the final digit in the year made
followed by letter designating month....A Jan..B feb. etc. Letter I is
skipped because it looks like a one.
