Depending on how your material has been stored it may be very well
acceptable even though it is out of date. Make a lap shear test coupon out
of fiberglass layups of the same thickness or strength you are going to use
the resin on the aircraft and do a pull test. If the fiberglass breaks
before the bond you can reasonably be assured that your adhesive is still
suitable.
