Default Keeping opened 5200 usable?


Steve, or anyone,

Is 5200 water soluble? If so, freezing would be best if storing for a
really long time. But I haven't tried the refrigerator yet, just a nail in
the tip of the tube and a ZipLoc ...only works for awhile. I bet a blob of
silicon sealant or SikaFlex on the end of the tube would work too, since you
can pull either off later on.

It really doesn't take anything other than a common plastic shopping bag.
Just enough to keep any moisture laden air away from the plunger..

BTW, I just looked and I have a couple open (but resealed) tube in my
kitchen frig that must have been there for a year.. I can squeeze the side
of the tub and it is still soft.. I may have to dig a cured plug of 5200

out
of the tip of the tube when I want to use them..

This question came up about a year ago and someone suggested putting them

in
the freezer.. I can testify that it isn't necassary and the stuff is ready
to use when you take it out of the frig. but might require some thawing

time
if frozen.
