I went to use my trusty Araldite only to find that
the tops would not unscrew, and my attempts to
do it were twisting up the tubes themselves, with
a rupture likely.
How long have I had it?
I don't know, but the price, which is printed as part of the box, and not as an add-on sticky label, is given as, "6/-"
So, then I turned to my "Rapid Araldite", where the price WAS on a sticky label as 86p (which is 2.8 times the price of the previous), and it is suffering from the same twist-up-the-tube-and-not-unscrew-the-cap problem.
In both cases, I'd always been very careful to keep the two tubes separate from each other, and not to mix up the caps, with the two tubes stored opposite ways into the box, so perhaps there is a sell-by date / shelf life limitation for this product?
