    Pyrogallol

    Anyone know the shelf life of Pyrogallol (raw chem)?
    My search was fruitless.
    Cheers

    I've used some that's at least 40 years old, and it performs identically to some that I fresh pyrogallol that I bought recently.

    As long as it's not getting dark brown, it should work fine. (My old stuff is a light tan color.)
