[R-390] Tungsten Disulphide question

[rbethman]

Glenn,

Using anything else than a medical container simply is *not* advisable.

A glass "flask" with a glass stopper is really the only way to go.

Soft drink bottles were never intended for pure Ethanol.

I went to a Compounding Pharmacy to obtain the containers that *they* 
use when dealing with such.

Regards,
