I have a brown bottle containing about 200ml of palladium chloride solution which I have stored away since I stopped printing a decade ago. Is it still good for printing? Thank you.

The noble metals have an indefinite shelf life.

I have a bottle of 25ml from way back (2005?) that I think paid some $30. Now I see the price is $235. Your 200ml is worth close to $2000. It better be good...

I just took a look at my prints and they were dated 2007. So that's like 14 years ago.
