[alt-photo] Re: Shipping 1/2 gallon of AgNO3

[Robert Hall]

We call it sunning jars. We put the silver in the sun to dry out, then we
can rehydrate it.

But for a half gallon, I would get a 2 pack of plastic hydrogen peroxide
quart containers and pour it in to them. Seal in a plastic bag, then pad in
a box.

Easy peasy
