Hey Faith, I have used my homemade CS I had stored for 4+ years and it has worked as well as my freshly made CS. I do this once in a while to try to see how long the effectiveness lasts, and to rotate my stock so to speak. For what it's worth, my old stuff worked as well as the fresh did for me and other family members and friends. I always keep LOTS (sorry no scientific numbers as to how much) on hand, some of it several years old, as back-up in case of emergencies. It's very comforting to know that my 4+ year old CS works as well as my fresh (in my experience - more years in other peoples experience) in case I need it down the road. Hope this helps some.

I think, after all, that you are right about anecdotal evidence. I appreciate the fact that you are discussing this. Truthfully, I have wondered about the condition of CS when stored for a while, and wonder how much it has changed, and what its present condition is. I personally cannot afford to get lab analysis on older CS. I wish I had some guidelines as to how long to keep it before chucking it and making some new. Thanks again. Faith G.
