Someone may call bullshit on this one, but I dabble with that conversion often and if I remember correctly I think there is an expiration date on the fina that is fairly short. Granted I don't know if that is for reasons that pertain to the potency of the drug or if that had to do with some other reasons. With other substances however you can still use them past the exp. date they are just usually said to be less potent.

The BA in ther acts as a preservative, most things can last for a year or better as longas they are kept in the right conditions...the worst thing is that it could have lost some potency

not bullshit just not relevent. the expiration date is for the pellets, more to the point the physical properties of the pellets degrade in a farily short time as they are simply pressed togather. that is the reason for the date, not the potency of the drug.

Fina does oxidize fairly easy so that can (why you shouldn't heat your fina) but if its in an air tight container this sould not be a problem. As doom said it has BA in it and is desolved in oil (no mosture, no oxygen). should be good for years.
