If not it will stink. I use a lot of old lure, some has to be watered down to make liquid. For that I use fish oil, urine, just plane old Booze(and fruity smelling booze too)

Could you use mineral oil to try and get it in a more liquid form if dried out?

I've used lure that was older than me, that worked well still.

… what lure was it ?

… I like a skunk kick in predator “curiosity “ lures … and that dissipates fairly quickly

… I have no experience with beaver lure though… the few I catch are with 280’s in runs or crossovers

I would venture to say that the skunk dissipating to your nose may be a mellowed and subtle addition to a k9 set.
