I buy my POR-15 in quarts, but still never use nearly that much at a time. I tried to seal it in a plastic soda bottle, but it kept pressurizing it and I had to vent it every once in a while (exploding soda bottles are messy, but exploding soda bottles full of POR-15 are messy beyond all comprehension). Eventually it solidified, and I had to toss it.
An unopened can will last for years.. has anyone found a way to preserve that life after opening? |
