OK,so I have 3 bottles (1oz) of U-40 permagloss,One bottle was solid from top to bottom and the other one was very thick in consistency although I managed to use it. Do I dare open the third one? I know this stuff is good on a rod but I don't think I ever got a bottle that wasn't too old to use,what's up with this stuff and how can I get a new good bottle of PG?

Been a lot of posts here on how to keep that from happening. Also the Trondak people say a new bottle cap has mostly taken care of the problem.

Use the 4oz paint cans with the eye screw in the bottom. This lasts forever as no air gets in when you use it.

Frank,

I spoke with Dan from Trondak, and he did indeed show me that the new bottles come with a different cap, which is supposed to prevent or slow waaay down, the problem you describe.

I have not tried the new cap yet. I have a large bottle that I have kept in the fridge for the last 7 years. It is in an old pickle jar with silica gel; whether that helps or not. I use a little on most rods, so it does get exposure.

I have one of those vacuum seal food saver things. I used about 1/2 a bottle of perma gloss last year. just to see what would happen I put the bottle in a bag and vac sealed it. it's been sitting on my bench for over a year now with no thickening.

Oh was i supposed to use that for food. Darn I knew I should have read the instructions! actually once you figure out what you can and can't vac seal it works good. great for home cureing bacon. but we digress.
