Default Does Hut Crystal Finish go bad?

Correct. There is only so much moisture in the air and only so much air
in the bottle. I'm guessing, if you used it once or twice and left the
3/4 full bottle on the shelf (like me) for two years, it would be
virtually new.


This discussion got me curious. I just went down to the shop and checked my
bottle. It's about 2/3 full, and the label says "Best if used by May 31 2006".

I last used it in early October 2008, and it cured just fine. No problems.

Storage conditions play a large role, I'm su my shop is in the basement, so
the temperature doesn't vary too much from 70 degrees all year long, and
there's very little sunlight exposure. And I run dehumidifiers in the basement
year-round, so that part of the environment is also well-controlled.
