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.

I am thinking of getting 2 gallons of bottom paint currently on
sale at Defender/West Marine (Oydessy HD) that I may not need for
6 months to a year.
Does this stuff have a shelf life or use by date? I don't want to
open it a year from now and find it has solidified into a solid
mass or otherwise.
FWIW, in the NC sound/Neuse River brackish water environment this
paint is into its 3rd year and still doing its job--no other paint
I have tried (Pettit Vivid/etc. including VR(?) 21) has approached
this level of longevity.
