Lifespan of Hondabond

(1/3) > >>

Laverda Dave:
Is it just me but why does Hondabond go off so quickly in the tube when only a bit is used and the lid is put back on :(. I've just been to the workshop drawer to get the tube of Hondabond out in preperation for the return of the Z400 engine cases next week and it's gone rock hard! I only opened it three years ago to do the RSA250 cases and hardly any was used. At £18 a tube it's very expensive to use only a thin smear and then find the rest has gone off.
Has anyone got any tips how to prolong the shelf life?

Skoti:
Dave,

try some blue Hylomar instead it's only £6.50 a tube.

That's what we used in the 70's when I worked in a Honda dealers and that's what I used recently to assemble my F1 cases.

Sesman:
Ow much.... ;D

Thats what I've always used too

Laverda Dave:
Thanks both. I have ordered a new tube of Hondabond and will use it on the Z400 but if it goes off again I'll be using Hylomer (do you know Hylomor was developed by Rolls Royce (as was carbon fibre and that bankrupted RR in the 70's, RR devleoped it for use in the RB211 engine)).
Shame I can't use Hondabond on the Triton engine when I put it back together but that will need Wellseal.
