Default Tink's shelf life

I bought the Tinks #69 gel last year and used 1/2 the bottle. Is the rest of it any good for this year?

Tim...Why take the chance?

I don't know for sure how long it lasts, but investing in a few bucks (pun intended) every year is worth it.

Good Luck to ya!

Considering how fast urine based scents break down it's history once you open the bottle. Toss it.

I think that you would want to toss it as well. I don't think that it would be as effective this year.

Pitch it. You would be better off using your ownfresh than using the old bottle. JMO.

Yep, pitch it. I was reading an article last night about it. I went at lunch and bought a new bottle (I know I said that I would never try it again, but I am).

I picked up some new stuff last night, but it did say on the package that it is still good the next year if it was kept closed and in good storage.
