    I'm sure that your certainty in my inability to understand is very malplaced.

    And I doubt you could teach me much about the theory behind material properties of polymers.

    On the other hand I'm sure you have more practical experience in mixing nasty nasty compounds and making polymers than I do. But by god I hope you made sure to wear a mask.

    I guess we're on the same level really - seeing as a Master of Science degree in Engineering Physics also takes 5 years to complete. Aw, bugger I spent 5.5 year finishing mine guess I'm actually a bit behind then. Sorry!

    Well if you've got all that behind you why question the fact about storing partially used barkae fluid in containers that have been opened then

    Well I worked for the company that makes over 80% of all the soft plastic packaging for Australasia and was running upto 5 extruders including 3 multi chamber co axle extruders a night producing tens of thousands of Kms of plastic each night, making HD, LD, & LSD plastics.
    just an example is that a bread bag has three different layers of plastic, and a frozen food bag has four layers; each one of those has 12-16 different components in it.

    Damn, read my posts again. I said I thought it was a good practice for a workshop to only use sealed containers with brake fluid.

    I just said that I didn't see any issues with storing UNUSED brake fluid in a closed (not sealed), partially filled container in your garage for future use - as long as you keep in mind what you have been doing with it so far and keep the lid screwed on tightly.

    As I said, I didn't doubt your practical experience outweighed mine. I've mostly worked in lab environments with dissolving various polymer compounds in numerous nasty nasty solvents (some carcinogenic but most just "I'll fuck your brain!" nasty) and then spinning them onto silicon and glass wafers in thin layers (10-2000 nano meters) and processing such layers.

    Polymers are very interesting materials and the amount of different applications is staggering.

    Ummmmmmmm ok cheers......

    I appreciate each and everyone of you for taking the time to answer my question..... I shall now ponder on all your answers.



    Nice to see, it did turn into a peaceful debate thou.


    SEAMINFuk - I kinda figured that might be the way things do happen in some garages/workshops...... thanks for your honest answer......
