510 Pyro

[jstraw]

I was having wonderful results with 510 Pyro when I went on hiatus. I don't have much faith that the last batch I mixed is worth messing with so I'd mix some fresh. Looking at my bulk chemistry, everything seems fine except for my pyrogallic acid which has formed a hard clump. Should I grind it up and use it or just replace it? Will the humidity that's gotten to it have ruined it?

I suggest you make some up and give it a try. I suspect it's fine; however, the mass may be off since it's accumulated some water. Any way you could dessicate it? Maybe one of those silicon packs that ship with electronic equipment?

I could loosen it up first and then toss a desiccant pack in, I suppose.
