How long does this last? Opened or unopened, will it last more than a year?

It doesn't disintegrate, and we've had ours for a year now. With frequent use, half is left.

I've had mine for well over a year and it's still sticky as day 1. I do keep it in a ziploc when not in use, so that might help (plus it keeps it from getting all over everything else in the bag.)

I've had mine over a year. Two seasons and it's still just as good. It's just a waxy substance kinda like surf board wax. No reason it should go bad or stop working from one season to the next. Mine is more than half gone and prob will need to get another at the end of this year.

Jessica, it'll last more than a year. The stick is about 6" long and is in a cardboard cylinder. What I do for my son is cut it in half and find a pill bottle cap that fits snuggly on it to keep it from drying out. It also keeps the stick from picking up dirt and grass that will stick to it. Also, it keeps it from spreading onto things you don't want sticky. When you cut it in half one of the pieces will be open on both ends, so, I use athletic tape to seal up one end. Now that you have 2 shorter pieces, it's easier to handle and breaks less frequently. Hope this helps.

It has a long shelf life if unopened. After opening it's recommended to refrigerate and use in three days. My experience when ordering from Amazon is expiration dates almost a year out.

I have frozen this product and had good results. I would not leave it more than a year though. Unopened this will keep in a cabinet for months but I would refrigerate or freeze after opening

Unopened, it will stay for 15 years. Opened, the website says it will stay viable for up to 12 months.

Hi Julia, If you keep this product in it's container or any tightly sealed container it will last for years. Hope this helps you.

Not sure how long it lasts but I think, unopened, it would have a long shelf life. I bought a case about 10 months ago and still have 4 unopened. I really can not see how they would turn bad. Most condiments and spices seem to last for a couple of years.

Although I kept it after first usage, I doubt it can work as new after a year. If you use it often then keep it.

From my experience, as long as you don't open the packet it can last last many years. I had one in the cupboard for over 5 years and it was still good.

If it isn't open , it will last indefinitely. I had one package that I've had for 5 years and it's still effective..

I have had a bottle in the cupboard that has been opened for about a year now. It is still good. I really like this, and use it in a lot of ways!

That should be no problem. It says on the packaging that it's to be used within 18 months after opening, mine is still good after more than a year now.

It should be good for a year. I keep my unopened bags in the freezer where they last indefinitely.

The oldest ours ever gets is 6 months, before we use it, so not really sure. It's well sealed and I can imagine it lasting at least a year, maybe twice as long if kept in the freezer.

I've used this product for several years. It seems to last for a couple of years beyond the "best buy" date, even if opened. I discovered that when I inadvertently opened a second one while the first was fairly new.

This is just a guess because I threw the packaging out.3 years after using from date on package.Left unused however I would think it would last much longer,maybe even until use.

Unopened shell life unknown. But I would think as long as it stays sealed it would be fine to use as long as needed. One opened is supposed to last 100 hours. I am using last years now.......

I don't know how long it lasts once it is open. I figure over a year is pushing it so I try to share it with someone, or just throw it out and replace it with a new one.
