   I still use aniline dyes I mixed with water perhaps as long ago as the mid to late1980's. I'd guess in this state the stuff lasts for at least decades, if not indefinitely. The dye colours I'm talking about are full strength red, yellow, blue, green, violet and other colours that are generally used in small quantities to adjust the main colours that get used which are mostly earth colours or shades of and intensity of brown, e.g., Van Dyke brown, etc.. Slainte.

   I've had the full line of Lockwoods dyes mixed up in Mason jars for at least 25 yrs. I just have to shake them up a little. They will probably last another 25 since I stopped using dyes.
