Where do you find the manufacture date on the can of Endurovar? In the general information it says the product is best if used within 1 year of the date on the can. I can't seem to find any dates on the can.

Here’s what Frau Google says:

General Finishes products are best used within 1 year of the manufacture date listed on the bottom of the can. The life of the product may be extended to 2-3 years with proper care and storage. Gravity can cause some solids to settle on the bottom of the can and slight separation on the top.

Bottom of the can.

Hi Colin,
I've looked at the can from top to bottom and all around the sides and can't find anything that looks like a date or date code. Is it possible for the date to be wiped off?
The product seems to be working O.K. but there were a few "stalactites" on the lid when I opened the can and it would be nice to know how old it is.

Couldn't find it on mine either.
Yes Clay, possible. I inquired and GF told me that's where it should be.
It's stamped in ink, looks easily removed.
I inquired about using older stuff because it's impossible to find EV less than about 2/3 years old here in UK.
Advice was to stir it well before use, and not just manually.
I stir manually first, then use my drill press with a home made stainless steel stirrer.
