There is a reported problem with gelling in the can, once open, so
don't order more than you're likely use within a couple of months.
Some of the turners on Woodcentral report that they transfer to
smaller, glass containers for storage, with success.

Hmm, I did have a problem with gelling in the last inch of my quart can. I
had assumed that I didn't put the lid on tightly enough.
