[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 876408, member: 39764"] Like any single base/double base powder with nitrocellouse added, you have to keep it tightly sealed and dry or it looses it's 'foof'. The easiest way to tell if it's viable is smell it. If it has a vinegar smell, it's good to go. You can also tell by observing it as it pours. If it pours out without clumping, it's fine. If it clumps, can it. I keep mine tightly sealed in a controlled atmosphere powder locker with the rest of my propellants. By controlled atmosphere, I mean a tightly fitting rubber 'o' ringed lid and dessicant gel inside to absorb any moisture. If the gel turns purple, it's time to bake it in the oven. It needs to be milky clear. [/QUOTE]
