    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Okay to use old grease?

I don't mean used grease. I mean that I found an old tub of Slick 50 One Grease in a box in the corner. The lid was tight and the grease looks and smells normal.

Does grease degenerate over time?

Will it be okay to use this stuff?

Thanks,
Del

Grease should be fine for 10 or so years at least, if it sealed up. Probobly even longer.
 
If it's truly sealed up well, and still has a "wet" feel to it, you should be fine. Greases have varying amounts of a solvent in them that can evaporate over time if not kept sealed. You can see it though when you open the container... it'll look dried out, will have cracks in the surface and will have a doughy consistency.
