topic and discussion to get derailed due to "linguistic grey areas" -
I know pharma and foodstuff "best if used by" dates are very soft and err GROSSLY on the side of safety (pharma OTC stuff tend to be good for YEARS after their expiration date) but is it so conservative for lubricants?
And if so, why so conservative?
and if not, what's going on here, substantively?
Very interesting...
John, you have to admit, if UNUSED lub has a six month shelf-life, why on earth would it last longer after application (but non-use) in a watch?
Therefore...(a few intellectual conclusions force themselves, which may or may not have any bearing with reality...hence my opening comment.)
Thanks, looking forward to how this discussion pans out.
