Hey, Dudes.

I am fishing for some feedback on traffic. I had a guy buy some old stuff(made in Jan of 05) It was no good. The idiots he hired put down 8 gallons of it anyway. It was not a pretty site.

Here is the deal. The folks at Bona tell me that ,while they post a one year shelf life on the jug, it will actually be good for much longer.

What has been your experience in terms of shelf life/versus performance? I am sure 13 month stuff is fine, but where is the real cutoff?

Thanks,
CHU

I'd like to know myself. Since I'm a "small-time" contractor, I don't buy material in bulk and stock up. That takes up too much cash flow and room for me. So I always buy as I need it. But how long has it sat around at the distributor? My distributor moves ALOT of inventory so I would highly doubt anything they sell me is more than a month or so old. I've never had a problem. Anyone else?

Gary, all Bona finish has a production date on the jug. The first two numbers are the year and the second two are the week.

Thanks.
