Thanks Bob?I wear a respirator when mixing chemicals. I mix everything  
myself from scratch, makes me feel like the mad scientist!

The shelf life of Pyrocat HD mixed in water is reputed to be 1 year or  
so, but I have never tested it. It can also be mixed in Glycol which  
should give it an indefinite shelf life, like HC-110.
