I found it hard to work with at lower temp and certainly does not grip the way T7 does on old alloy , i also found that you have to be very very careful about the date on the tube , its shelf life is shocking .

Most of those sealants have 12month SHELF life, if opened it is shorter
We buy a fair bit of specialised adhesives & tapes, if there is not at least 11 months life we wont accept it

Yep , once I open a tube i try hard to use it , a day or two and the rest of the tubes not worth the bother ,,, good policy on the fresh supply though. I dont buy enough to have that buying power ,, so I just look carefully at the dates.
