Question Zaino question

Today I used Zaino for the first time and I only got one coat of Z5 on there before it was too dark to work. I mixed one ounce of Z5 w/ 5 drops of ZFX and I still have about 1/4 of an ounce left in the bottle. In the instructions it says to throw away any polish not used within 12 hours of mixing and to wash out the bottle or they can't be used anymore. If I just go ahead and leave it in the bottle is that okay as long as I only use that bottle for Z5 mixes in the future? I don't think this should be a problem, but I could be wrong.

If you leave the ZFX/Z5 in the bottle for longer than recommended, it will tend to harden and become very difficult to remove the residue from the bottle. It is not recommended to reuse the bottles if the polish dries inside without completely removing it. I rinse mine with alcohol immediately after use, and the bottles come out 100% clean. Once the polish starts drying though, the residue will be almost impossible to remove, so you'd have to toss that bottle. Whatever you do, don't reuse the bottle with more Z2 or Z5 if there is dried residue that you didn't remove. This is why it's recomended that you clean the bottles before 12 hours...

Yes, I do the same thing as mike 100% rubbing alcohol with a toothbrush to get in the nooks (try to use an old one so you don't have to taste the rubbing alcohol when you brush your teeth )
