Preserving 5200

Hey Guy's,
Ever get tired of throwing away partially used $11.00 tubes of 5200 because it kicked while sitting in your toolbox after 2 weeks? Keep them in the fridge. I needed some today and after 4 months in the cave fridge @44 degrees it was as good as the day I opened the tube. Make sure the threads on the cap and tube are clean before you put it into the cyrogentic chamber. The other thing I like about chillen the 5200 is if you need high build for mounting engines etc without sagging, it will hold on to a bead longer on a vertical surface without running.
I love it when a plan comes together!

I do the same thing with some paints to keep them from setting up overnight. Brushes too!

Done the same, but also put it into a 2 gallon ziploc with all the air removed

I keep it in the freezer. Take it out about 30 minutes prior to use and works great. I kept one in the freezer for over a year and was as good as the day I bought it!

I need to use mine less! BTW, if your HD sells it, about the best price you can get for 5200 in cartridge form...how I buy mine. My HD in Spring Hill carries it, about $12 a cartridge. My buddie's HD in Oldsmar? They don'y carry it...
