Does anyone have experience dealing with various threadlocking products and how age might affect the product? Along with this, I'd like to know if anyone has experience with batches getting mixed (i.e. 2 bottles being combined) or even reuse of a bottle by filling from a larger bottle.

Thanks!

In terms of physical constants, no. I can tell you that we shelf life limit all of our thread lock products. Your best bet would be to contact Loctite directly
 
Go with Fred, ring Loctite. If you're using Loctite, it's probably a critical enough application not to be worth the risk of pissing around with.
