while filling up my dosing containers, I noticed both my 3a and 3b sound like there is some granular-ness to them. When I turn the carton upside down I can hear and feel what seems like crystals or something on the bottom of the carton slush around inside. Like when you mix up some 2 part and have to shake the jugs.

Is this just from sitting? Should I shake them to get the solids to dissolve?

This is due to the solutions being exposed to low temperatures. Simply warm the solutions (easiest way is to sit them in a hot water bath) and they will return to liquid.

Legit question: Anyone done this with the new cardboard cartons? How did the container hold up?

Worked well. Container held up well to being about 1/3 submerged in pretty warm water. Not sure I’d reuse the carton after that, but it held up enough to return any solids to solution.

Thanks Tim.
