Has anyone ever used this Circuitworks Remote Keypad Restorer? I ordered
a couple units of it, as I had a large pile of valuable OEM remotes that I
wanted to refurbish and sell. The stuff seems to work great, well worth
the money, but it says I can only use it for 72 hours after mixing.
Trouble is, the stuff is going a lot further than I expected (done 100+
keys so far and still have 75% or more left), and there's no way I'm going
to use it up within 72 hours. I wondered if there's anyway to make it last
longer. Is it as simple as sealing the cover with tape, to prevent
evaporation? Or is there some solvent I could add to the mixture to keep
it moist? According to the label, the main solvent is Methyl Alcohol. I
have some 70% Methanol here, but of course that's 30% water. Then I have
some 99.9% Isopropanol, but I'm not sure if that's chemically compatible.
Or maybe there's no point in trying, maybe I should be satisfied to fix
20-30 remotes with the one kit, and not worry about wasted product......
Thanks for any advice.

May be just a bum steer, but you could try keeping it in the fridge. Seems
to slow down or suspend many slow chemical reactions. Worth a try.
