Jar for CDH

Hi
I just wanted to let you know what I have been using to make CDH. I use a wide mouth canning Jar. At the local Ace hardware store I found wide mouth plastic jar lids. They also carry a silicone seal that you put inside the lid. These are all found in the canning section of the store. The lids and the seals were pretty cheap. This way I make a large batch and no leakage.

Hi Mary. That all sounds great. Tell us more about the silicone seals that fit the wide-mouth canning jar lids, as I have not seen them. If you have a brand and part number, photo, etc, that would be helpful.

Thanks!

Here is a link to finding them on Amazon. You can get with or without lid.

Hi BestDay,

I think it's fine to make CDH in the jar as you're doing, as long as you know it is completely sealed. However I would recommend not keeping it in such a large mouth container to dose out of unless you are going to use it all up in just a couple of days. Instead, you should pour it into a glass container with a small opening ideally. The reason for this is because the more surface area you have, the more easily the CLO2 is going to gas out.

Here's a pic of a test I accidentally did that dramatically shows what I'm saying:



Hope that helps,
