Will blends of boiled linseed oil and turps and/or polyurethane keep in a bottle or is it best to blend and use immediately?

I've been keeping mine in sealed coffee jars, and I haven't noticed any deterioration over 6 months.

Yeah coffee jars have worked ok for me so far too.
I'm not sure how the cold weather will affect it, but i'm
about to find out soon i think.

No reason why turps/ linseed oil mix will not keep indefinitely so long as airtight. :2tsup: doubtful about polyurethane/ linseed longer than 12mths.

I don't drink coffee, but have used an empty mouthwash bottle to good effect. Holds about 250ml.

As long as I don't gargle it, should be OK.
