once i mix powder with paint, if i keep it in a sealed container, how long will the mixture last?

It thickens up every time you open the can. I add water to thin it out. A tight sealed can will help. I make small batches, a quart at a time so I have not experienced it drying up since I use it up before it does.

I have never mixed anything with it. I keep it sealed and it has lasted for over five years.

No. The mixture is now a paste.However if it stays too long unattended to, it tends to dry up or evapourate to powder form again.

Should last at least a year at least or more. I keep my sealed in a container. I have had no issues with this product losing potency. Works as good with last tsp. as with the first.

Hi Bandit, I am not totally sure how long it would keep its potency...with a pack of 4 Fila Mastiff's I go through it pretty quick...I do notice that in a spray bottle made up by gallon directions will lose its color after several weeks but the gallon does not and I haven't kept it in a closet. If it were me... I would and do keep all different things for my pack in stock for just the same reason you are asking this question I would say YES keep it on hand - for the cost it is a resonable investment for "Just In Case" Gina D

As Larry previously noted, as long as powder is kept dry in sealed container and stored below 80 degrees temp. product should last indefinitely. Glue requires a lengthly clamp time while it cures. Follow instructions on container. Best used for funiture or structural projects where super strength is needed.

I keep it at room temperature in a cool dark place as powder. Once I mix it with water (to make patties) the mix should be kept in the freezer. I usually mix it the day I will feed it to the bees. I use the whole container before four months, and at least for that length the shelf life has been very good.

Should be indefinitely as long as it remains sealed. Worse case scenario you might have to give it a good shake to in case the toner powder clumps over several years (which is highly unlikely).

It can be left out safely for 2-3 hours but used promptly after. Since it is in a powder there is no real reason to resonstitue it and not use it. I personally only reconstitute it when I need it so I don't have a waste issue. I hope this helps.

This paint is thicker than usual paint. If you use it out of the can while painting, it becomes even thicker. Thus, the drying time between coats needs to be extended from the recommended time. I advise pouring into a small container & refill as needed while painting. The recommended time between coats is 6 hours at 50% humidity & 77 degrees. It will feel "dry" long before that but don't be fooled, it is NOT ready for another coat. New wood needs 16 hours wait after the first coat. I always wait at least 24 hours, advise a light sanding & wiping with a tack cloth between coats. Don't rush a job that will last 10+ years. This paint is thicker than usual paint.

Im sorry but I don't know , I never mix more than I will use in a few days in my sprayer , from past experience when I left already mixed insecticide or weed killer in my sprayer it clogged my sprayer because it the chemicals got chunky but I don't know if Demon will , I did call # on the Demon WP label to confirm shelf life of unmixed powder & was told over 5 years so you may want to call them & ask . I do love the results if the product hope this , hope this helps

well I've had it sitting in my shop for a long time and as long as you keep the lid on and closed so no moisture gets in it lasts a real long time. I'm sure I have had it well over 1 1/2 years and its still good. it only turns to glue when you mix water with it so if its kept dry it will stay a powder.

As long as it stays in its powder form away from moisture, forever. However once mixed up with water in a jar - 1 month

i went to the suppliers website for that information. They have published a Youtube video that was very helpful. One recommendation is that the contents of the container must be thoroughly dissolved. Then let it stand for 10 minutes to see if any of the contents settle. If so, shake the container agin, wait another 10 minutes. It will save you a lot of time later dislodging clogs in your spray attachement.

Actually it didn't have the same affect when I saved it. But now that I know how much I actually need to mix, I just use it all at once and it works much better! This container will last a long time and I still have plenty...

Good questionBased on my experience these packets should last at least a year - as long as they are stored in a cool DRY space. One of the shipments I got had clearly been exposed to too much moisture and the powder in most of the packets was all caked together in a hard mass.

No. If the paint was "poured into each section" it would dry out... The container lid is not air tight. If the different paint colors were placed individually into small air tight containers that fit into each section, it would work fine. But the lid does not seal air tight onto the container with sections. It hold beads or buttons, etc., well.
