Organoil ..... An Expiry Date?

[Sir Stinkalot]

Does anybody know if Organoil Hard Burnishing Oil, has an expiry date?
The reason that I ask is that I have an old tin (possibly 8 years old) that I am thinking of using for a project, but I don't want to stuff it up.


"Suitable for powered-disc operation, hand-rubbed and on-lathe
finishing. Based on genuine, unmodified Tung Nut Oil, providing for
excellent sealing, efficient drying and handling durability. Geared for
minimal darkening/yellowing though still delivers light, natural colour
enhancement. Following drying, is least likely to taint foods cut on
or served in (chopping boards, bowls etc.)." - Organoil (http://www.organoil.com.au/woodcraft/index.html)

If in doubt, send it to Uncle Al.

Try using it on an offcut of the same timber you are using for your project.

sir, I think that if it had reached it's expiry date that it would have solidified.

I just checked my 1 Lt can and there is no expiry date on it.

Hey Stinky - Ask the manufacturer. :)

Most likely the solvent has gone off. Check to see if there are lumps, and to see if when applied to scap it dries.

New can is all of about $20. Not worth the risk in any case.

And there are better products on the market IMHO.

I was speaking to the organoil peoples at the sydney show and they reckon it doesn't go off because it doesn't have stuff like polyU in it - drop them a line, I've always found them quick to respond to emails.

Stinky, wander along to S*xpo, I'm tipping the manufacturer will have a stall there... ;)
