I store my strontium nitrate in coffee jars, I figured this is OK because of how hygroscopic coffee is...

Remember though, that when bought it has a seal that you have to break, I would imagine that if left, the same thing would happen..........Though me drinking around 10 cups a day :wacko: I can't confirm this

50% Parlon, 40% PVC, 10% Rad gum. For Strontium nitrate wet wit acetone.

I use coffee jars with silica gel in the lids, it seems to work pretty well!!
