Hello all,
just recently I discovered that I do actualy like MPA to some extend, especially when combined with 3-FA.
I like to mix them in equal amounts and then put in some MgSO4.
In the past I have done that numerous times with no problems and only in amounts that were used the next 24h.
This time I prepared a little bit more to have a stash that's ready to use.
But now(48h later) it's starting to melt. The line that was left from yesterday, exposed to air over night, is completely liquid.
The rest of the mix is in a baggy in the freezer and still looking good.
Can somebody please explain to me what's happening here, will it affect the mix in the freezer aswell, and is the liquid still useable or should I better not?
English is not my first language, please excuse grammar etc.
Kind regards
Edit:
I think I found the answer to my question, and it appears to be pretty basic chemistry. I obviously skipped school on a regular basis lol.
Anyway, I put this here in case some equaly ignorant find it useful.
MgSO4 seem to have outstanding hygroscopic properties.
It even takes up moisture from the air 8)
I still don't understand why that hasn't happened before, I use the Mg regularly for everything that is so viciously mean to the nose as let's say 3-Fa.
