What is the shelf life after its open?

As with mu PVC glues, I store it upside down. Seems to not dry out when doing that. Easier to open also.

I know this says rubber cement but is this good for car tires with patches? i mostly say people commenting about bike repairs.

Yes, it is in fact excellent radial tire patch cement, and if you have a roller type "stitcher" to roll the patch into the inner liner of the tire, it does a great job. I even used this stuff to repair some damage I accidentally did to the bead on a Goodyear Wrangler radial, and it worked great. I knocked a hunk of bead out by not paying close enough attention while using my old antique tire changer. I glued it back into place and left it overnight, next day it was good as new, and that tire runs today on my pickup. This is a most excellent rubber cement, from my own experiences anyway.

Does any one know how long it will last in storage?

The cans usually last a long time, I too have had mine for over a decade though mine had a metal cap with threads. I needed it the other day and thought it would be dried out, nope still very viscous, it just seemed like the level was lower than I remembered it? But the actual viscosity didn't change and it worked just fine.

I’ve used a lot of tire repair products over the years, but the Slime 1051-A Rubber Cement has earned a permanent spot in my toolbox. The first time I used it was during a plug repair on a punctured tire, and it made the whole process smoother and more reliable. The cement spreads easily, stays workable long enough to position the plug or patch correctly, and bonds fast once everything is in place. What I really like is how well it pairs with Slime plugs and patches—it clearly does exactly what it’s designed to do. The 1 oz. tube may look small, but a little goes a long way, and it seals confidently without feeling messy or overly runny. I’ve driven thousands of miles on repairs made with this cement, and they’ve held up without leaks or issues. If you want peace of mind when fixing a tire, this is one of those simple products that makes a big difference.
