My mix is only 1 month old and I had to transfer the stuff into smaller containers to keep air out. I think over time the terp may be volatilizing/evaporating, leaving you with just the tung oil. The stuff I mixed recently is already getting thick and unworkable after one month. You may want to add more terp and thin it back down.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
