Yup. The plastic bottles allowed the product to dry out over time. The move to metal containers has solved that problem. I've never come across a batch that didn't work correctly.
Yep and store in the fridge.

Want to add, it seems to me DBC “failures” are a function of barrel prep, or lack thereof. The Hawkeye really helps in that regard. Clean patches by themselves may not tell the whole story.
Bore has to be clean down to the raw steel for an optimal result. Then, after DBC, no brushes or abrasives. Just a good soaking with a cleaner. My current fav is Patch Out, but have used others, such as Eliminator. A cleaner and patch are all you’ll need if it’s done right.
