That's only for after mixing and such. If you only cut a snip off for use, the rest is completely fine and will only dry when mixed.

That's what I did with my strip of greenstuff. It's just that I don;t use it very often and I has gone real hard.. I have trouble mixing the two components... I acctually need some greenstuff but don;t want to buy a whole other strip just to let it rot... How should I store it?

I used to store my spare greenstuff in the freezer and it works really well. Now the freezer is no longer on the same floor of my working-area, so lazyness made me store all of the greenstuff on my desk... and as time goes by, the greenstuff slightly hardens, but not that much.
The optimal option is to cut a new pack of greenstuff into small parts of 1 to 2 cm, keep 1 small part on your desk to work with, and store the others into the freezer, until you need more and "unfreeze" 1 part... Should keep well for a lifetime (they say).

I have stored my Green Stuff on my desk drawer (dark and dry but not cold) for eight years or so and it's still usable, though blue is a bit stiffer than it was. What happens during years (not even months) is that the yellow and blue stuff react to each other in the middle starting to form green stuff which then dries. But if you cut the middle away, like one millimetre from each side, you still have perfectly good components.
I currently use the Liquid Green Stuff for small gaps and it has worked really well. Obviously it does not help with large gaps or sculpting, but if it's just gap filling you're after, you may want to consider that.

I kept mine in a tupperwear air free box and put that in the freezer. The greenstuff remained very fresh, takes a minute sometimes b4 it's defrosted. Now i also gotten lazy and just store it in a tupperwear box. It's fine so far, but only have it for half a year now.. So don't know what time would make it do. Still better then nothing i guess. Airfree boxes can help alot with clay. Sometimes i wrap it into 2 plastic bags to make absolutly sure no air could reach it.
