How long can 1M, Karo and capping agent last in the fridge ?
« on: February 07, 2019, 10:46:41 PM »
When I make Colloidal Silver/colloidal gold i usually toss out all 3 agents, and make New every time I make a new batch.

How long will they last in the fridge? , or does everyone toss them out after the process?

Thanks Ed

Sodium carbonate solution lasts indefinitely if kept in a closed container.  No need to refrigerate.
Karo diluted with vodka lasts indefinitely also.  i do not refrigerate this either.
Knox gelatin solution kept in the refrigerator seems to have a shorter shelf life, several months.


There is the unknown and the unknowable.  It's a wise man who knows the difference.
