As Carlton says it doesn't dry out--might get a little stiffer, but still  
effective.  I've got two packages--one over twenty years old and one over  
ten years old.  They still are flexible and usable.

Wade,

This is a putty type material that in the day was referred  to a "dum-dum".
It was used in places on your car to seal off areas from  moisture.

You may buy this material from several places and it is a 3M  product, part
number 051135-08578 (black). Eastwood calls it "3M flexible  strip caulk" .
It is packaged in a box with 60 = 1' lengths of strips that  are apx. 1/4"
dia. They are layered between a wax type paper. I can't  remember how much 
it
cost me a Eastwood. Well worth having around though.  It is not supposed to
dry out, so no shelf life.
