Ron,

You have an excellent memory.  When my Redux played out, I finished the 
job (wings) with Aeropoxy 6228, mixed with a little flox, then 
reinforced with a couple of layers of bid, as I did on the fuse joint, 
which was a Redux joint.  Absolutely no problems with any of the joints. 
  The point I was getting to was that, in all joints, using out of date 
Redux, there have been no problems.  I believe the expiry, to a point, 
is a lawyer thing... :)

Sorry for any confusion...
