I have some green stuff sthat is still in it's plastic sheath and has been in a small plastic drawer for three years. Is it still usable?

Yup its should still be useable. Its based on a chemical reaction when mixed so if un mixed it should still be useable.

Thanks, I didn't want to have to go buy more.

I've found it can get a little difficult to mix if it has been sitting too long. If it has hardened you can just alter the ratio of blue - green to make it more malleable. I had some really old stuff recently that made my thumbs ache to mix... it was used for really simple stuff, nothing requiring much manipulation. I ended up throwing a big chunk away because I just couldn't take it. The new stuff worked much better.

Also, if you are using the GW style ribbon, the place in the middle where the two colors meet might have hardened. Just cut that part out and mix the outer edges, and you should be good.

Good luck!

If you add some water to it then it becomes a bit more managable, not too much. Just dip your fingers into water and that should be enough. Iv had the GW gs for ages and yes the middle part did cause a few problems coz it had hardened.

Thanks again for the tips, watch for my PM blog for a converted IG officer soon! (hopefully)
