How long can the mixture be left in the plastic sprayer without losing it's strength?

7 days as long it's in a cool space! I also own a pest control company. Just shake it up and your good to go

The package tells that it loses it's strength in a day or so, I believe. My experience since I've used this product (about 20 years) is that it does not lose it's strength at all. I have some in my sprayer in the garage right now that is over three months old and I keep it because I know for SURE it is potent and will work JUST as well today as it did the first day I mixed it. Perhaps in a clinic they can actually test and see that potency decreases after time, but in my home or yard where I use it, the bugs would HAVE to disagree. :) I've never used old Demon to find that it did not work.

Kinect, Not long. Maybe 1-2 days? And for that reason, you shouldn't mix up more than you intend on using that day. This way you won't foul up your sprayer or end up spraying a finished solution which has deteriorated because the active has sat too long. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

This spray bottle died after 3 weeks. I was using a strong shower cleaner. I dismantled the sprayer and the internal spring had rusted and broken into several pieces. I now use an off-the-shelf spray bottle, but after each use, I remove the sprayer and spray several pumps of clear water. Then I spray until empty, reassemble the sprayer, and have been using this sprayer for several months with no failure.

i put it full strength into a spray bottle and did about 8ft when sprayed off with power washer. It worked great.

It would depend on how many sprays you applied and how many times a day/week that you applied it, and on how many different objects. I followed the suggestion on the product insertand applied 2 sprays, 2x/day to about 3 different areas and it lasted a very long time - maybe about a month. I think it approximates how many sprays the product is good for somewhere on the package so you can maybe estimate how long it'd last.

I used a spray bottle with maybe 1:25 Meguires car wash and water. Worked fine. Bar was staying together but did get softer the more I worked with it. I imagine it would deteriorate after more use. I was only working with 1/3rd of the claybar material.

Use the J and B and shore something up against the panel for about 24 hours or 2 days after using J and B for maximum cure time. Use a cinder block and slide up against panel so it doesn't slip during hardening process

Cheesecloth works best, I think. Clean sprayer right after with soapy water ;)

Hey, I'm not really sure how long it lasts after being diluted but since it is just diluted in water, I don't see why it wouldn't last at least a few days to maybe a week pre-diluted. Like I said I'm not 100% sure but I don't really see what it would hurt if it's in a closed container.

It is not necessary to use the entire bottle all at one time. If you are done spraying the area, but the bottle is not empty, you can safely save it for use another time.

Just twist it counterclockwise. My sprayer quit working completely, so I bought a new spray bottle and transferred the contents to it.

I don't use it for such a use. But you should research what solvent to use with the sealer, and if it dissolves plastic, I think it is polypropoline, but I'm not sure. Check with Hudson mfg. with this question so as to not damage your sprayer.

I honestly don't know but I've left some in my sprayer for a few weeks. I added some more for the next application and it seemed to work fine.

Sure a reg spray bottle will work for a time . It may eventually gum up or the Citrus will effect some of the parts in the sprayer

I only use my sprayer occasionally as well and leave the oil in it. I have two of these sprayers; one for olive oil and the other for vegetable oil and store them in a closed cupboard.

I am not a professional but that is a question you have to ask the 3M people. I usually shake up the can each time before use so that the product will be mixed up and spray out. In my case by doing that, the product will be finished before the propellant is finished. I would contact the customer service people of 3M there should be some sort of phone number on the can or in the website. Good Luck, Penelope Blechstein

I have had partially used bottles on the shelf for up to 6 months without problem. if you mix the two components together, you have a very short window of use. 5 min +/-. it is not reusable.

I use it in a pump sprayer and mix accordingly. Mixture calls for 2.5 oz / gal. I would not use in a hose sprayer unless I knew the distribution rate /ratio.
