I have used the Blackfire coating thrice, first time being 4.5 months ago (that I picked just after its launch) and then 2nd/3rd time past two weekends. First time it was a breeze to use and had a long working time allowing to go back n forth easily. Exactly like how the video of Mike(smack) showed it. Loved the outcomes.
Four months kept at room temp and sealed bottle.
The last two recent uses and it was very difficult to work with. Hardly any working time to the extent you find it dry during the overlap pass of criss cross. Similarly very grabby to remove.
I saw several other people complain recently on a dedicated thread as well even though they opened the bottle for first time picking from the recent BF site sale .
My personal hypothesis (and it`s just my mileage ) is that the shelf life of product isn`t great and product in closed bottles has aged similarly as the open bottles.
I am now very worried of the two 8oz bottles I picked at the BF site sale.
I Just tried to use some BF Crystal Coat that remained after a pervious car - it was a completely different animal. Almost un - usable. Extremely difficult/grabby to remove after application with no waiting time. Looks like I will have to get rid of it unless someone can tell us what needs to be added to the bottle to rejuvenate it. At present, I wouldn`t recommend it.
