I have a bottle of Wahkon Bay aquafortis that is over 2 years old. Would this be OK to use or should I get a new bottle.

Should be fine, that dark bottle keeps it spicy for a long time. If your stock is still rough, you can try a sample to make sure, then sand it off. I like to do that with a new piece of wood anyway, just to know how it will look. Bill

It holds up a long time. But I had some that was almost 20 years old and even though it worked fine, the finish came out a lot lighter than when I first used it. That was fine with me since I was wanting a lighter finish.
