I have found that after this product has frozen the materials separate as you have found. In my experience once it warms up and it is shaken well, as the instructions describe, it is fine and it works like new.

Throw it away, this stuff is junk. This stuff is expensive and you think it would be good, but it's not. I have a black car and when I am done it looks really good but one day out in the sun and this film appears on the paint out of no where.

I've had an open jug, about half full, on the shelf (in a dark room) for about 2 years now and it is still fine. I use it periodically and no sign of deterioration, mold, or discoloration of any kind. We do live in a dry climate (I don't know if this makes a difference). Just make sure to pour off a portion into a separate container before dipping cloths into it etc (so the original bottle does not get contaminated). And close it well right after pouring off what you need. I've used it extensively on solid maple, and on a few teak items also. Excellent results every time. And no chemical reaction for me! :) I've had an open jug, about half full, on the shelf (in a dark room) for about 2 years now and it is still fine.

I also had the same problem, had to transfer the entire container to a larger container. I will not buy this brand again, it is very strong and you just can't keep it sealed in the container it came in. I ended up throwing it all out.

Had this problem with the first bottle that I bought from my vet. For the second bottle that I bought through Amazon, I have been taking a tissue and wiping off the pump spout after each daily use. No more mess! Also, don't tilt the bottle when you gently depress the pump. Keeps air from getting in pump. I am ready to buy my third bottle through Amazon.

Mine does the same thing in a shaker bottle, however if you just let it sit for a moment then SWIRL the contents together at the bottom of the bottle (including the foam) it'll all even back out again. :) Hope this helps!

I never had a liquid version. I always shake mine before I use it and that might solidify it back to a gel.

Hi Amanda, I bought this product for my grandson & we haven't had any problems. We just give it a good hard shake & it goes. the harder & longer the shake the faster it goes. Maybe you should send it back & exchange it? Good luck. Danalee

Have you tried reducing the amount of liquid you put in? I noticed that CO2 would eject through the hole on the neck of the bottle if I had the water level too high. Was pretty simple to cope with. Beyond that, there shouldn't be any other quirks. If they continue, I would contact amazon or the mfctr to see about a replacement unit. We really do love ours.

Try shaking it up it might have separated but that would mean its old I don't recall mine being watery so I would return it if its old the sunscreen will be no good anyways.

The bottles have clean breaks. But to put it back together might be difficult so the break wouldn't show. We've done over 30 bottles and every one has a very clean break when we used the heat/ice method.

I've had it for a few months now and, from what i can see, there is no difference between when i bought it and today. You just need to store it in a 'cool dry place' and thats it. Also, i'm not even halfway through the bottle yet so i would expect to it to last to the end of this year.

I had that problem time to time after the first few years. An easy solution is, while it's on and seems to be stuck, pick it up straight out of the water and shake it side to side and front to back for about 15 seconds and place it back in the water. Hope this helps!

I have purchased two bottles, a larger and a smaller, and found that if I put cold water in (without ice) it will stay cold for probably 8 hours. Even if I leave it in the car on a hot summer day it stays cold. I don't know how quickly yours gets warm, but if it's within 1 -3 hours then my guess is that your triple insulation is broken somewhere.

Yes mine too had liquid separated from it I just dumped the liquid off and then use a dowel rod and stirred it and used it. I have not had any problem with my mixer I used it in and just went out and looked at what's left in my tube and it still fine. Hope this helps!

Mine is. I've had pretty good luck with these types of bottles. In the past, I had a couple off brand ones that leaked, but even those I think the seal got twisted or loose in the dishwasher and was able to fix. If you're taking it to work, I would just make sure it's totally dry, put my powder in and fill with water/milk once you get to work. Personally, I keep one at work with a bottle of protein mix. Good luck!

I try my best to just let as much of the water out as possible and make sure to never put anything thats not water into it because cleaning other types of liquids leave a nasty smell and residue as for mold issues or smell after every use I just keep it in my freezer until the next time. Hope this helps

I usually shake it a bit to get it out. I have found though after time of using it that its quality of use has declined. I am not sure why, but the stuff gets trapped and its not coming out like it did before. Not sure why. I am going to contact Ozeri to replace it. They have great customer service.
