Raw powder precautions

**slimncut** · 02-22-2012, 02:36 PM

Anyone know the shelf life and storage precautions for raw powders. Once prepaired in oil they should last about 6 months correct? I heard raws can take on moisture and harden.

Mixed, its good for a few years, I have used stuff with results up to 5 years old. Powder, stored in cool dark place, years. Keep them sealed with dessicant bags and you won't have a problem.

i got some grapeseed oil and was lookigni through them and found one with a lil vit e in it and said it lengthened the shelf life so thought that was a good choice...

I know this is an old thread but I will respond anyway. I kept my test cyp powder vacume sealed for three years and I opened it tonight to brew up a quick 12 mls. (9CCs cotton seed oil, 3 grams test cyp, .6ml BA)It was perfect and nice to brew again after taking so much time off. Keep it sealed(vacume preferred) and cool and dark and It should last a good long time, several years at least.

I have a vial of test blend 450 that is at least 4 years old and it still looks fine. I have to work up the courage to pin that shit cuz I know it's gonna hurt!
