<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone experienced problems with storing nanostrip solution (a stabilized form of piranha)? We recently purchased a gallon of it, the first shipment did not arrive due to “damaged packaging during shipment” the second round did in fact
arrive but the bottle itself (which is just a plastic HDPE 4L chemical bottle) appears to be degrading, chemical label is completely gone and the plastic lining is – is this something that can be stored in a glass container? It seems interesting that something
specifically engineered and used for dissolving organics and removing polymers is stored in a plastic container.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, <o:p></o:p></p>
