FWIW, a relative who is a chemist advises that iodine solutions can be kept " for

a time " in plastic containers but iodine tends to degrade rubber and plastic

over time; for long-term storage, keep it in an amber glass container in a cool,

dark, dry area. Jars can be found at lab supply houses; dropper bottles are

usually available at health food stores.

FWIW, a relative who is a chemist advises that iodine solutions can be kept "for a time" in plastic containers but iodine tends to degrade rubber and plastic over time; for long-term storage, keep it in an amber glass container in a cool, dark, dry area. Jars can be found at lab supply houses; dropper bottles are usually available at health food stores.

One of the iodine sellers I recommend on ebay also sells amber glass bottles.

the_full_orchestra It can be hard to find them in smaller quantities desired.

Hi ,THNX... that's who I'm going to be orderingall my supplies from today.BTW, do you have a scale? I notice that he sells scales as well. Did you buy one form him?Did it work for you? I was going to ask him if hewould please separate my order into the rightamounts and pack the leftovers separately.Then I would use the scale I buy from him to test out theamount..... that way I know, for future use that itworks. I bought one, in the past, (it wasn't digital)but I wasn't sure if to trust it, it was very flimsy.The gym I go to has a digital AND a regular (doctor type scale with weights on it) and they are off by a lb or so. I'm thinking that he must be aware of the recipethat most people use, so why doesn't he just sellin

those amounts?!!!THNX again ,PS When you made the recipe was it really exact ...or can it be off just slightly ......I'm thinking that itwouldn't matter ... that it would still end up Lugols ....just a little stronger or a little weaker. Am I correctin my logic / math .... or should I find a way to betotally exact?!!!!
