Is there a shelf life for tru oil once it has been opened. What are the signs that the tru oil would not give optimal results.
thanks

Once it gets thick or gummy, get a fresh bottle. I can normally get a year or more out of it. If you use a lot, you'll be empty before it goes bad.

I just used a bottle that is a year or more old and it worked fine. I actually had to break thru a top layer that had hardend, but underneath was like new. The grip I turned looks awesome!

On a bottle of True Oil do not remove the foil cap. Puncture the foil with a pin and shake out drops. Seal quickly, tight and store upside down to prevent air entry and the bottle will last longer without gumming out on the surface.

Like Bill said, store it upside down.

Here is a post I made on True Oil in 04. Reason for this reminder to all is that he original idea came from Jesse! I really owe the guy a lot for what he has taught me involving the craft. He still is in the ICU toughing it out.
