Phil,
I'd suggest going ahead and buying the big cans and storing them in the freezer or refrigerator. If the date expires, it will still work for trailing edges, naca vent and other places. If you've got quick build wings a quart size will be more than enough and keeping it cold extends it's usefullness.
I, like you. bought a couple of the little jars, and found that I used them up rather quickly and for the cost, the larger size is more economical.
