How long will it last in the gallon jug if it's not all used within a few months?

I've had an open jug, about half full, on the shelf (in a dark room) for about 2 years now and it is still fine. I use it periodically and no sign of deterioration, mold, or discoloration of any kind. We do live in a dry climate (I don't know if this makes a difference). Just make sure to pour off a portion into a separate container before dipping cloths into it etc (so the original bottle does not get contaminated). And close it well right after pouring off what you need. I've used it extensively on solid maple, and on a few teak items also. Excellent results every time. And no chemical reaction for me! :)

I have some several years old its good until it drys and become a solid, a sealed unopend jug should last many years.

Mine has not deteriorated in over a year after being opened. I assume that it will last a very long time in a cool, dark place.

keep air out, even a little can turn it into a brick. It is recommended to put stones or other objects into the container to displace the air inside the container.

How long it will last is dependent on how much oxygen gets to it as that is what polymerizes it. I would either move it to a smaller air tight container or top off the volume in the original container by using marbles or add either the citric solvent or mineral spirits if dilution is not a problem for your future applications.

You know, I use this stuff on my little brother so quickly, I go through a gallon in 3 months. I would say unopened, it should be good for 18 months. Any longer it could lose all it's bubbles. Hope this helps.

That's hard to say exactly. If you use a couple of drops each time (like it recommends) it should last for months, or longer.

Just a guess would be around 30 or so . One container will last me for 3 to 4 months .

A long time I would say maybe a year ? I don't use mine that often though but theres quite a bit in that bottle

I have had partially used bottles on the shelf for up to 6 months without problem. if you mix the two components together, you have a very short window of use. 5 min +/-. it is not reusable.

It actually depends on what water you put in it. I go to the dtore and buy the water from the machines that use UV. I normally drink the five gallons in about 5 or 6 days. If you want it to last a long time, put clorox in it. We went camping many times and had 55 gallon drums, and the lasted about a month. These bottles are BPH free, so no taste goes into the water

There is a built in measure on the bottle that is supposed to be good enough to stabilize 5-8 gallons. That will keep the gas stable for one year. You are then supposed to RE-treat the gas in subsequent years for up to a total of 5 years. They say on the bottle that if you add extra, it will not negatively impact the gas, but then you will run out of the Pri-G faster. Methinks it is best to use it as recommended on the bottle.

Hey, I'm not really sure how long it lasts after being diluted but since it is just diluted in water, I don't see why it wouldn't last at least a few days to maybe a week pre-diluted. Like I said I'm not 100% sure but I don't really see what it would hurt if it's in a closed container.

I think you will need quite a bit for that. My guess is that you would need 8 of these two gallon companions. It never makes as much as you think it might. There should be some description saying how many cubic feet the two jugs make. You should be able to make a rough estimate from that. Sorry if this isn't much help.

One gallon should do it! You can have an extra quart on hand just in case. My event (SummerFest for Nursing Home) was 3 hours long and I used 1 gallon, though, when I noticed it ran out, I'm not sure if it had been empty 5 min. or 20 min. as I was busy. On 2nd thought, I just realized I still have some left in that gallon jug. Hope this helps!

It lasted me 2 months making a gallon of distilled water everyday but I used two of them in a gallon. The cleaner the water the longer it lasts. It won't last as long using tap water, I found distilled to be the best and it does a great job. My water always test at 9.5 or higher. Hope that helps.

5 gallon plastic jug works fine. I would keep it on the counter and throw the stand away if I had young children

We have stored it in the refrigerator for two weeks and has been fine, don't know beyond that time. Be sure to use a glass Jar or Jug to store.

It will last for 4 months. I use 15 ml (1TBSP) per gallon of water per directions on the label. I use the gallon mixture for 6-8 plants and repeat every other day. The results have been nothing short of spectacular! My 7-12" starts are now up to 56" tall and covered with layers of flowers and baby fruit, 40 days after planting them in the ground and some in pots.

I mix at 4-5oz/gallon. Takes about a week for yellowing, everything sprayed is dead as door nail after 2 weeks.
