Anything organic in contact with any kind of water can grow mold.  But maybe not in contact with ammonia :).<br><br>b<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, May 7, 2011 at 2:28 PM, Linda Feltner <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:[log in to unmask]"><a href="/cgi-bin/wa?LOGON=A3%3D1105%26L%3DSCIART-L%26E%3Dquoted-printable%26P%3D691136%26B%3D--bcaec5486088c87cee04a2b9fb53%26T%3Dtext%252Fhtml%3B%2520charset%3DISO-8859-1%26pending%3D" target="_parent" >[log in to unmask]</a></a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<div style="font-style:normal;display:inline;font-family:&#39;Calibri&#39;;color:#000000;font-size:small;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">I 
wonder if it&#39;s possible, in order to keep the latex from drying out in the 
bottle, if one could store it by gently (eyedropper maybe) filling the air space 
with water, then putting the lid back on. That would displace the air, which 
apparently activates the latex to make a &quot;skin&quot;, and when stirred before use, 
the skin becomes lumps.  
<div> </div>
<div>The water could be gently poured (or syphoned) off before the new usage, 
and wouldn&#39;t matter if a bit of water was stirred in regardless. 
<div> </div>
<div>Just a thought,</div>
