we also store cyano adhesives ... and sometimes upto 6 months, - we buy in bulk to get the best prices for the business, but the storage is important, we store it now in a cooler box in a chemicals store, in the shade..... the cooler box is an industrial style picnic type insulated box, we have in the past stored it in metal containers but if the sun shines ( and it does sometimes here in windsor) the cyano's would start to degrade, we once had 24 large bottles of black cyano 'cook' ( black as it had a rubber compouind in it to give it flex, and all 24 bottles were cooked in the warm temperatures.....) as a result we wrote off £400 worth of adhesive in one afternoons sunshine!

we find this little box about the size of a washing machine/ fridge allows us to store the cyano and the temperatures dont fluctuate greatly, also it contains any spills that may occur...
we store all our liquid cyano and our gel cyano in this box and since then we have never had one go off whilst in the box....

if you have a ' extra' fridge then its a good place to store it- but dont like like the idea of my cyano being in my 'main fridge' next to my beer or rump steak !
