What is the shelf life of BlackTop and how should it be stored?

BlackTop should be good for at least two years unopened. Once opened and stored correctly, it should remain good for at least six months. To maximize shelf life: dispense only what you need into a separate steel or glass container and seal the original can immediately. Never return unused paint to the can. Keep the can groove clean, use plastic wrap between the lid and can to prevent the lid from sealing permanently, and store in a cool dry place. For longer storage, use KBS Paint Saver, spray 2 seconds for quarts or less, 4 seconds for gallons, to prevent oxygen and moisture damage. Be sure to review the BlackTop Application Directions before beginning your project.

Pro Tip: How to Store BlackTop Correctly

Never paint directly from the can. Dispense only what you need into a separate steel or glass container, then seal the original can immediately.
Never return unused paint to the can. This shortens shelf life and can cause pressure build-up, possibly popping the lid.
Keep the can groove clean. Use a scoop or KBS Paint Spout to prevent paint from building up in the groove.
Use plastic wrap under the lid. BlackTop is extremely strong and can permanently seal the lid shut.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Use KBS Paint Saver for longer storage. Spray 2 seconds for quarts or less, 4 seconds for gallons, to prevent oxygen and moisture damage.

Before you begin, review the complete BlackTop application instructions for full prep, coat, and cure guidance.
