Does it go off? I have 1/2 a tin from last year and was going to finish it off this year, maybe mixing it with the new stuff. Good idea or should I chuck it?

I've mixed old with new in the past, to no visible detriment. I'd have thought last years should be fine.
I think they have a reasonable shelf life. Let's face it, at the prices they charge, you wouldn't expect a brisk turnover..... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Check the product data sheet on the manufacturers website for the particulat antifouling you have.
All the International ones that I checked have a shelf life of 2 years subject to the tin being tightly closed and stored in the conditions specified.
In short no trouble, just stir it thoroughly as the solids will have settled, and use it.

No bother. I always keep a bit back every year to fill-in after the cradle prop's are removed the rest goes into a jar in a cockpit locker for touch-ups and the following spring any that's still there gets mixed in with the new.
