Excellent price Viper!! I noticed my #1 has lost some of its Pink color. Probably time to replace it, wife gets the house up to 80° F quite often with the wood stove. Its probably almost 3 years old.

It was from cabelas and really not that pink to begin with, I only noticed when I ordered #2 and it was super pink. The #1 never see's the light of day it sits in a closet but your right them UV rays from the sun do a lot more damage than we all think...

Heat will also have an effect on the color of the dye.

Like I said the light and heat will affect the color ;D :o ::)

OK back to my corner now :P

I learned the hard way, from experience when I ruined my cure #2. I mistakenly placed it in a cabinet above my stove. :-[
