Does it really go bad after the expired date?

I doubt it. I'm sure it's good for quite a while longer. I wouldn't throw it away for at least a year.

Don't have to worry, when it goes bad it will be dried up and you could'nt use it anyway. I've got some over five years old and still use it.

MAN, some of that Loctite on the panhead is GETTING way old. Never knowed thar wuz expired date. Guar-own-tee, some of it on the pan is 'expired' by now.

Nope, never even looked to see if there was a date on it. But had no reason to, I guess. Even tho I use it quite a bit, I still jus' buy the tubes, easier to transport in tool bag.

Got that right. Expiration dates on some products are only there so you buy some more. Squeeze it out...if it looks good it probably is.
