How long will rubbers last in their original packaging?

Michael Stack Asked 14 years ago

Hello,

 I've purchased some rubbers but have decided I don't yet want to replace my existing ones. If I store the rubbers in their original packaging, away from light, how long can I expect these to last? If they can reliably last longer than a few months that is good enough for me.

I'm sure you can't give an exact answer as it would depend on humidity, temperature, type of rubbers, etc. I'm just looking for a good general guideline.

Thanks!

Michael
