Stability of KN

[Riven]

Hey so I've got a source for KN, but I'm worried about how long it's stable for. I'm still working on finding the other stuff I will need for CTB and don't want it to go bad. I know that general advice is to store chemicals in cool, dry places (I have a closet that I think will work just fine). Apologies if this is a frequent question, I'm an anxious sort and want to make sure I've got this right.

nah this hasn't really been frequently asked as we have less info about it than SN.

How to store KN:
Exactly like SN!
Store it in a tightly sealed, clearly labelled container made of chemically resistant material like HDPE plastic or glass with a screw lid.
Light and heat can cause decomposition. A locked cabinet or drawer in a cool, dry room is ideal. Avoid places with moisture (like bathrooms or under the sink or your car) and never store it near anything flammable or organic (like sugar, sawdust, or petrol).
Never keep KN in the kitchen, pantry, fridge, or anywhere food or drink is handled.

It should last 2 to 3 years if not exposed to oxygen on a regular basis.
