I always save from one year to the next. Some store better than others, but this Odyssey Triton holds up well, and does not settle out very fast. Also, BTW, this is the best antifouling I have ever used. A fact not lost on Pettit, as they are pretty proud of it.($400 a gallon!) Defender put it on sale a couple months ago for I think 369, then Hamilton blew them out of the water at 269 Gallon. Got 3 Gallons. (Thanks Don Kern!)
I blow some argon into the can and quickly put the lid on, then store them upside down to make sure it is sealed. I realise not everyone has Argon, but CO2 would also help if available.
