How much is a new tub?

Oooh he won't like that ! :-D:-D

Is premixed waterproof tile adhesive in a sealed tub still ok if it's still unset? It's many years old.

Probably not after "many years".

I'd better test it methinks.

You can't. Throw it away.

Really depends on how airtight it was and what its made of. Brian

What he said.

Sometimes (as I have learned to my cost many times) it's just not worth trying to save a couple of notes.

You can take a sample squidge it onto the wall intended for the tiles and see what happens.

Does it set in about the right amount of time? When set is it stuck to the wall? When set is it a hard solid layer?

If the answer to all those is "yes" the chances are it's fine.
