It has probably been asked before, but does unopened, still-sealed wallpaper paste have a shelf life? The paste in question is Solvite Extra Strong, maybe 3-4 years old.

In powder form no problems
This year I mixed a packet of Solvite "Paste the Wall" paste. I used most of it and put the remainder in an empty 4 pint milk carton. When wanting to use it a few weeks later it had turned from a thick paste into something the consistency of water with an inability to to stick anything.

Dunno. It certainly will outlast 3 or 4 years though!

Well back some years ago we used some older than that with no trouble, well other than we had no idea what we were doing in the first place.. It certainly seems to have stuck, good help me if I ever want it stripped!

Paper now dry and still stuck to wall, so looks like paste was OK. Thanks for all replies.
