How long can wax/sealant (Zaino/Blackfire) be stored/used after opening it?
How long can products such as Blackfire and Zaino (in my case) be used before having to throw them away. I have had my current Zaino and Blackfire products for about 2 years and have not used them up yet. How long can I still use the current bottles before I have to throw them away and buy new ones?

I know that once zaino is mixed with zfx it has to be used within 12 hours or it is not any good, and the recommend all bottles be rinsed with a dawn liquid soap solution after use. As far as just storing in the original container without being mixed it should be ok for at least several years if not longer.
