Keeping Goop (Poo In New Zealand) Fresh Over Time

Saving tubes of goop long term 100

You are looking at what Ponce de Leon was seeking, the secret to long life. Think you we exaggerate?

The tube of adhesive in the photo could be several years old, or more. The formula for this elixir is hidden in the Saran Wrap, under the screw on tube cover. The Saran Wrap creates an air tight seal. No air, no moisture, eternal softness. We have a tube of Permatex high temp gasket material that dates to the launching of Wind Horse, in 2005.

Try it, you will be amazed.

    Doing the same and keep everything in a corner of the refrig. I see that maybe that’s overkill.

    Thanks for this great tip…

    I have a carbide canon I shoot off on the 4th of July. Every time I open a tube of calcium carbonate, it goes bad after a couple of months, leaving hundreds of unused booms… Now I know how to rectify that situation.
