I almost ran out today and went to a local hardware store to get a small bottle to tide me over. I found a quart of TiteBond III and when I asked the clerk how long they had it she stated it was placed on the shelf this past January. That concerned me a little.
I called Franklin and found out the bottle I hand in my hand was 2 years old and they suggested a shelf life of 18 months in ideal conditions. After a 40 minute round trip to Lowe's, I had what I needed.
The date codes are easy to read. Example: A108050014
A - Made in America
