I guess my worry is that it will absorb
significant amounts of water vapor while I'm measuring it for the
methoxide.
Jonathan, I'm from Tropical North Queensland Oz where the humidity seldom
dips below 90%.
Has anyone tried storing lye in oil to prevent it from absorbing
moisture? Here in Coastal South Carolina, USA, the humidity is 75% on
a dry day. It might cause a problem when making the sodium methoxide,
but then again, I'm still waiting on my supplies, so I haven't played
with anything yet.
Have you tried putting it in a sealed container?

I don't actually have it yet, it's still being shipped. I was just
wondering about doing that. I guess my worry is that it will absorb
