As Jobst has pointed out many times, it's the crimp at the end of the tube that's not completely airtight and allows solvent to evaporate. If you roll the base of the cement tube and crimp it firmly the evaporation will be slowed considerably. This is important for both used and unused tubes. Could one seal the crimp by dipping it in Goop [1] or something similar? Is the cured substance a barrier to hexane diffusion? why hexane? rema cement solvent is trichloroethylene, not hexane. Is the seal between the cured substance and the cement container a barrier to hexane diffusion? Better to ask on sci.chem. Nobody here has said anything about this kind of thing. |
