I had a big bucket of that stuff harden once. It had also started to work on the metal bucket. So the moment I poured hot water into it; (to losen it and help me with the mountain of ice I had to face) the bottom literally dropped out. So we threw ice melt shush up the path and it turned out okay. I find the plastic bags inside the boxes I get from McMaster, hold the stuff rather well. I scoop with a big plastic cup into a big tupperware and I walk with that to distribute about 5 lbs at a time.
