Default Shelf life of Zaino?

Had to sell my car this year ('03) and won't be picking up another TA till Jan. '05 but still have a lot of zaino left. Will it still be good then or should I just use it on my gf's mustang like I tell her I will?

Just keep it somewhere kind of warm, so it doesn't dry out.. It should still be good then, as long as the cap(s) are tightly sealed. It probably wouldn't hurt to put them in plastic ziplock bags or something, to ensure air-tightness.

I wouldn't worry. I have hand glazes from 5 years ago that I'm still using, and they work like new still.....

I keep mine in the garage year round. Some if it is going on 2 years old and it's still fine. Even if it freezes... let it thaw, and give it a thourough shaking before using it... good to go!
