anyone know the shelf life of plastisol inks?

i had ordered some white ink from a company, and what they sent me was polyester white. not what i needed.

i got some printin' to do and it's gonna take a bit of ink. so while i wait for the new ink to come in i was wondering:

i have a gallon of opaque glacier white (QCM) that is unopened (seal hasn't been broken) but i'm not sure how old it is. it could be up to 4 years old.
i think this new ink is coming in a day or two, so do i wait or risk using the old ink?

i was totally ahead of schedule for once...

this is all i can find on that ink in particular...

Creamy Glacier White has excellent shelf life and, with cool storage, will maintain its creamy consistency.

plastisols are good forever.
if it looks bad, start mixing.

chunky = bad.

if it goes smooth again use it.

i bought a whole printing setup for a storage unit.
it was in there for 10+ years.

the ink was still good.
