The instructions simply state that "FX39 has excellent keeping qualities. Fresh concentrate has a pale gold tint. Once it has darkened to a marked yellow it should be rejected". I really hate this kind of imprecise indication, especially since I am slightly colour-blind and so the difference between a gold tint and yellow is not always easy for me to see. Can somone comment on the keeping time of FX39 in more precise terms?
