« on: March 23, 2018, 09:49:05 pm »
Just been going through the stores , have numerous chemicals  , powders and concentate , half jars , be about 7 years old
Also some microsplitters and protector ,

My thoughts would be ,give the m/splitters a shake and away you go, and as long as other products are air tight and frost free, crack on... Simon

Solvents should be fine, although I my self dont use them anymore, HandS means water carriers are safer all round. imo. Simon

Are these chemicals which you get once you start out ? The X range and Ashbys

Powders will be fine. Liquids you need to check for any seperation. Protectors do degrade so wouldn't risk using them.
