Discussion What do you use for storing SN?

[heydude56]

Would a simple ziploc bag be enough?? I wanna move some from the original container to small portable bags.
Or would something more expensive and better than ziploc be necessary to prevent SN from going bad?

I am keeping it in the original container it came in. Just hiding the container in a drawer next to my bed, which also protects it from light.
As far as i know, as long as you keep it protected from humidity, sunlight and rapid temperature changes, it should be good to use for a while.
I wouldn't move it into a bag till the day before you plan to use it, just in case. Maybe see if you can buy a smaller HDPE Container you could seal and store it in.

Depends on how long you plan on keeping it. If you are keeping it for a long time you could try vacuum sealing it. I'm pretty sure if the SN is exposed to oxygen it slowly converts into nitrATE.
