Default Question about Mary Ellen's Best Press

I was doing some cleaning in my sewing are and found a gallon jug of Best Press. I know I bought it over 1 1/2 years ago. It had gotten tucked behind a tote and forgotten about. Does Best Press go bad?

I always buy it by the gallon and I never use the whole gallon within a year. Never had a problem with it. I store mine in a dark corner.

I've had mine longer and it's fine. Just remember to shake well before each use.

Just the people to ask: What's the difference between Best Press and starch? I've only used it once, briefly, in a class.

Love Best Press! Thought it was basically an over-priced snobby starch - until I tried it myself and couldn't believe how much better it was than the stuff I was buying from the grocery store! I will never go back to ordinary starch - it is worth the price (although I buy/stock up when it goes on sale at Joanns or use a 50% off coupon).
