Best way to declump SN?

Title. Mine arrived in a rectangular-ish clump. I don't want to do anything that damages the purity or anything.

Use a plastic spoon to break the large clump. Anything non-metallic should do the trick.

It isn't going to react with a dry spoon

It might react. It's not worth risking though. I will use plastic spoon if i were you.

Sometimes SN is vacuum sealed which makes it appear rock solid but that's only because of the pressure of the vacuum seal. If you mess around with the packaging you might break the seal and impact the purity. If it has clumped naturally breaking it up is pointless unless you're transferring it or dissolving it.

I've heard it takes months for the purity to lessen though? I still have it sealed so I'm OK so far
