OK. I know thread lockers dry within an hour but is retaining compound different?

The product needs a 24h cure time.
My 243 is 14 years old.The bottle(50ml)has no expire date on it.No issues whatsoever.

I'm asking about 603. It's 5 years old. I know that some are sugar based but wouldn't think they would go off but maybe they do. I have some 401 that has set in the bottle, but it's pretty sticky when it's new.?/?//??

I am using it(603 super retaining compound) to "glue" in my new bearings. The bearings are going into my new anodised steering hubs. The front stub axles run inside these bearings.

I've used the 603 for bearings at work and these were huge bearings some 4-5'' in diameter and when we had to replace bearings they felt like they were welded in,so for these small app's I would put it on sparingly......
