Which brings me to a possible problem, skinning on the surface, I've got a 1 gallon can ( with cover) that I am using, by keeping the can full and covered, skinning has not ( as of yet) been an issue, it's been almost a month.. so far so good..

This is the big problem I was having when i was using waterlox. Great sealer but you have to be very careful about it skinning over. One way I've heard to fix it to make sure air isn't penetrating the can is to take cellophane over the opening before you close the jar. Then by putting the lid over the cellophane you effectively make it air tight.
