Can't really answer as I've only had this bottle a few months so not a fair test. I would imagine it lasts better than a similar PU because the bottle is a good design and the cap seems to seal well.
I think if you invert the bottle it seals the entrance to moisture rich air better and lasts longer. Never done it but heard it mentioned a few times. Seems like a good way to get goop all over yersel to me but YMMV

I use it and always store it upside down. It keeps well that way (probably over a year) however if any humidity get in it's toast

I think it's basically a "2 part" adhesive with the second part being water from what I understood.
A handy trick if you need to use it as a filler is to mix the glue with some water (just a dribble) and then let is go off a little before using it. I did this for repairing a dashboard which was sponge foam....it means the glue will expand a lot less when used....then I re-covered the dash. It worked ver well....found that tip on the tinter web somewhere (don't remember where).

Is PU glue the replacement for PVA wood glue?

I would say complementary rather than replacement. If you have a flat tight surface area then I would use titebond or similar. If I had an irregular shape with limited contact area then I would use PU.

7 years really? I’m sure it was 5 years under the ICOP

are they being used in industry or just personal use in workshop . the 7year makes no odds if just personal/ mine are over 45 years old

Just watch them. I got one for the mig and it started leaking from the guage after a month with little use, the solder joint on the flexture for the dial failed. They swapped it foc and I kept the old one. I may resolder it at some point. I only just noticed it hissing as it was such a small leak.
A consequence of being eco friendly I wonder?
Yes 2028 date.

Cheaper probably. What’s more eco friendly than natural rubber?

Nice to be able to buy a precision tool made in Germany. Beautifully made and packaged. This is the Mutts nuts, basically a very clever dial gauge that works in all three planes....Good for measuring workpieces and tools on a cnc lathe or milling machine
I re-acquired the ability to drill correctly sized holes on the CNC lathe, after snapping a 6.8mm drill while setting up some other tools a couple weeks ago.
I wasted three nights this week.
Didn't matter what I done, I still ended up with 0.5mm difference over 30mm.
Holder was 0.2mm low, and must have been like that from new. The lathe supplier setup the lathe for the initial part, and I've never checked as previous parts were on spec.
Dialled the ER collet holder in numerous times. Got it down to less than 0.05mm off in any direction. Taper still present.
Decided to try another new drill today, and parts are now perfect again.
I'm at a loss to understand why, as the drilled holes were perfectly centred (split point drill, so they self-centre), so somehow the shank must have been creating the taper, yet the shank was on centre

Drill not ground correctly, or bent so it pulls to one side. Once it’s in a bit ,the shank tends to centralise it. Had it before. Had me stumped for awhile

Yes, but supplied with a different anvil specifically designed for measuring lathe tooling. It uses a cylinder as opposed to a ball on the end . Same idea that in X and Y once the two hands are 180 degrees apart, you are on center
