I believe storing the bottle on its cap will do the same by elimination any way for air to get into the bottle.
  I generally pour out a little bit of Tru-Oil to a small container(like a bottle or small jar cap) to use when sealing the bow then close the bottle. I also don't reuse it once it has been poured out.

  I keep Tru-Oil, Poly, and all my glue in the fridge. I have some Urac that is 4 years old and still good, keeping it in the fridge.

Dragonman, Tru-Oil is a gun stock finish made with linseed oil and additives.

I tried to extend the life of an older 8 oz bottle of TruOil  y thinning....the whole blame thing just kinda curdled.  I finished a couple dozen arrows with the lumps and all, just had to rub longer and harder.  I'll save throwing out half of the 8 oz bottles by buying the smaller ones as needed and finishing them up.  Like someone else said they do go a long way, even if you do 12 coats like I just did on a hackberry bow this week.  Bloody sweet gloss, baby!
