Seems simple but this is sound advice. I replaced several rubber bulbs on
my droppers a few weeks ago. It seems that some chemicals in solution,
especially gold chloride, will have a deleterious effect on rubber that
will be aggravated if you store the bottles in a horizontal position. I
won't do that again!
