[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1696210, member: 94491"] question along these lines-- they sell canned dry nitrogen--I once thought of using it to displace the air in an opened bottle of powder-- then I wondered if the nitrogen would react differently with the powder than regular air--- then I thought, "air" is about 79% nitrogen so it should be fine-- I thought about it for too long and decided to just ditch the idea anyone ever do this though with opened cans of powder? nitrogen is heavier than air so it displaces the oxygen in the air and fills the canister with pure dry nitrogen (it is the oxygen that "oxidizes" whatever you have in the container)-- people use this method to keep wines and expensive alcohol's from going bad too quickly--wondering if anyone had ever tried this with powder? at the least, I would think it would displace any moisture and lessen the chance of condensation in quick temperature swings. I'm sure this is overthinking things--I too have had powder for over 25 years and it has kept well enough to still use it [/QUOTE]
