Default Bead Release Question

This may sound like a stupid question but I have to ask anyway. Does bead release go bad? I had mixed up some Alice's a year ago and never used it. I just looked at the jar and it's evaporated a lot. But it should still be good right? And can someone tell me where to buy more? I have a ton of HOtline but really want to try Alice's since everyone likes it so much.

Thanks!

According to some site I looked at yesterday it doesn't go bad and can be reconstituted. Just add water and shake.

Thanks Kenddra! That's what I thought but I just didn't want to dip a whole bunch of mandrels, etc. and find out that I'd wasted my time.

I have had some bead release here for over a year. It was hard as a rock. I put some water in it and let it sit for a week. It was fine after sitting. Well, had a little too much water, but I just left the lid off overnight and the next morning it was fine.

I too use Alice's release and order it directly from the Alice web page.

Thanks Jill for the link! I have to say that when I opened the jar I was thinking it might smell like sour milk. Silly me!

I've had some that went moldy on me - the bottom turned black. I didn't bother to open the jar, just pitched it. I've got asthma and didn't need any spores to trigger an attack.

Mike - I just checked Alice's website and she mentioned mold and to just mix it in. But I think I would have chucked it too. Don't want to have a hard time breathing!
