Curdling Records

Track shelf-life items that have undergone curdling (material degradation over time). Curdling records document when consumable materials such as sealants, adhesives, paints, and potting compounds reach their usable limit and need to be tested, re-certified, or discarded. This is critical for aviation consumable compliance.
