hellen Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hi guys,I'm wanting to bulk up on wax and am wondering just how long I can keep it before using it?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Under ideal conditions, a year. Your wax manufacturer should be able to give you a better idea and also tips on the ideal storing conditions for their wax. Remember that soy-based wax is basically super-hydrogenated shortening and it will go bad at some point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellen Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 I was hoping to buy GB415.....will rethink it now. I was hoping to buy enough for a couple of years.....lolol while I can get it at a good price. The cost will go through the roof over here (Aussie) soon.Cheers,Hells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 A lot of saturated oils are assigned a shelf life of a year or so, but it's a conservative estimate. They can last considerably longer when stored well. Storage conditions is the key consideration. If you can keep it cool and dry, I think you could easily store a couple years' worth of soy flakes. Under adverse conditions you might want to be more cautious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootie04 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I agree with ya Top. I had some KY125 that I kept for 2 years. It was inside and in the spare BR...tootie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
