chipquik smd291 expiration

I have a CD32 that needs recapping. My tube of chipquik is 4 years old according to the manufacturing date. If its gone off what will happen if I tried to recap my CD32 using it?

Should I buy a new tube? The postage from mouser is £12 an im skint.

well if it was stored in the fridge I can vouch using it with success after 2 years…more than that I don’t know but if it’s for working on an Amiga I wouldn’t bother trying

If it's not dried out/congealed it's typically fine
