You're using your Moroccan stuff, right? I have been using paste
that is 3-5 days old and getting great color from it. I mix it on

day that I use it.

I think that my assistant's experiment with year old paste proves
that terps can be added to paste that has released its dye already
and bring it back to life, with full glory.

Hope this helps.
