Can diamond paste go bad?

[Ruso]

I have Venev diamond paste and it says “good for two years since the manufactured date”. The manufacture date was 2020. So, can the diamond paste expire? Does it become toxic or less abrasive?

maybe binder dries out?

My scientific wild-ass guess is that it might possibly settle. It depends on the “weight” (viscosity, really) of the grease.

My suspicion is that it will last a lifetime, and the stated limit could be either a warranty limiter or even an inducement to buy a fresher replacement.

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure you can reconstitute it even if it does.

Yeah I ate some 1 year old diamond paste and got diarrhea now

That’s what I thought as well, that either a gov requirement or a warranty thing. I am not planning on munching on it like blokey did. Should be alright then.
