[NSRCA-discussion] PPG Concept Paint Qs

[Atwood, Mark]

Wow... EXCELLENT suggestion!  That just made wading through 10,783 emails on snaps and weight rules worth it.  At $60/qt it's worth making the effort to prolong the life of the hardener. 

BTW, Powermaster sells the same thing for their fuel.  Never thought about trying it with the hardener.  Merry Christmas indeed!!

And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone on the list.

I agree with Tim, especially the fact that a near constant temp will minimise air expansion/contraction and slow the spoilage.  but I would add that I've had real good results with a trick that can be used on anything where air and moisture are a problem. Get a can of "wine preserver". Its just a can of compressed nitrogen with a straw applicator. N is heavier than air so a layer quickly sprayed in the can before capping will isolatr the material. It works for half empty fuel jugs, paint, and of course wine. Also, I keep the seal clean and add a layer of saran plastic wrap under the cap to improve the seal. 
   Using this I've kept hardeners for at least 2 seasons without spoilage. Might be longer but I buy the smallest cans available and usually use it up by then

Hope that helps
