What is the shelf life of Sealey Repair Putty?

Does the putty require any special tools for application?

Troubleshooting
Putty does not harden or cures very slowly.
Ensure the putty was kneaded thoroughly until a uniform color was achieved. Insufficient mixing can prevent proper curing. Also, check the ambient temperature; curing may be slower in very cold conditions.
Putty does not bond to the surface.
Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or contaminants. For optimal adhesion, lightly abrade the surface before application.
Putty becomes sticky or difficult to handle.
This indicates the putty has been mixed for too long or is exposed to excessive heat. Work quickly once mixed and store unused putty in a cool environment.
