So, heeding the list's advice re: storage in one-shot sized brown glass bottles, I started looking around Nashville for someone who stocks chem. storage materials. You'd think in a city big enough to support an NFL team, the Grand Ol' Opry, and several Hall's of Fame for musicians with adenoids, you'd be able to find a dozen each of 8 and 16 oz. bottles, but no. Took the search online, and to make a long story short, this is the place that has the best range of stock, combined with low cost of shpg. & hdlg; no fee for breaking up a case-lot, and the bottles come with a cap. The cap may be the down-side. Out of about 20 different possible choices available at other suppliers, the ones that come with these bottles may not provide the optimal seal, but you avoid the "small quanitity" charges that come with having to buy caps separately. http://www.specialtybottle.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=2 Now, to make that last unopened bottle of Rodinal truely immortal.
