    If you can pronounce the chemicals, then you can have one.

    Though I must admit, I pronounce phenyl "feenile" rather than his "fennel"...

    Well since the active ingredients (the phenyl and the peroxide) are such a small part of it, you can just add them again, and it'll kick off again.

    You might have to dessicate it to suck some of the water the H2O2 turns into, but other than that, it should be OK.

    So what do you do with the 7 gallons of naptha and other phenols you stick into your car after you've finished using them? ;)

    Edit: And how do you pronounce phenyl?

    I would say fee nil as well I think ... Although sometimes I do say fennel ... Think it depends on how the last bit goes

    You will have put it somewhere safe. Where do you normally consider safe?

    Do you have a kitchen drawer with crap in like measuring cups?

    Yes I do but I'm not just wasting petrol for the sake of it which is my point! We are obviously never going to agree on this one. Perhaps it's all in the amusement value - I didn't find it that amusing.

    Looked there but nope, wonder if I was unsure what it was and threw it out... it's been a while... I can do it by hand - it'll be fine, best go to my folks and find out what exactly she wanted anyway.
