I have a few 5-gallon cans of Behr Waterproof Deck Stain -- no. 300, clean up with water, natural color -- that have been stored in a garage for several years. Are they still usable? They've never been opened.

Do you have freezing temperatures...would be the deciding factor?

If it was made in the early 1990s dump it. After their product dried
mold started growing in the wood and they ended up paying millions
to settle a class action law suit. The past 10 years they got their
acttogether but I still don't trust them.

That was only two products, Super Liquid Raw-Hide, which is used
primarily on log homes and Natural Seal Plus.

They were oil-based, not water-based, so OP's product is not going to be
an issue from that standpoint.

The problem was the affected products used linseed oil as a primary
solvent/carrier whereas the manufacturer whose fungicide was the mold
retardant used specifically noted it should not be used with linseed oil
which is a known source for mold spores to feed upon.
