This is what my Part (A) Stock PyrocatHD looks like. I purchased these in July 2017 and they were mixed in Glycol

Small Left
This is the A solution I am using now which is stored in a 200ml glass bottle albeit the bottle is only 1/2 full. It appears to have a very slight syrup feel to it as I poured it in to the graduate.

Large Right
This is from a full 500ml plastic bottle which was full to the top and taped round the screw top. This is a bit like syrup as I poured it into the graduate.

Any PyrocatHD users know if either of these look bad ?

My pyrocat HD in glycol (home made) looks like that as well; it's a few months old and still works fine.

Looks like the one on the left or right ?

The one on the right.

Badly oxidized pyrocat looks a lot different; dark brown, like tar. It's a problem if it's like that. Yours looks fine. In fact, I mixed a completely fresh batch today from scratch and it's the same color as the one on the right in your photo.

Don't sweat it.
