Default RE: How to store CA?

RCKen is right about the moisture. Although CA will keep for a year or more if tightly sealed and dry, it is a good idea to buy bottles no larger than you expect to use in 6 months. If you like to buy in quantity, storing CA in an auto-defrosting freezer will keep it very dry, but don't open the bottle until it has reached room temperature (manual-defrost freezers and refrigerators won't dehumidify). If you buy accelerant (kicker) keep it very far away from the CA, like 5 feet or more. Even with a tightly closed bottle some accelerant fumes will escape and, over time, will thicken your CA. Don't ask me how I know this.
