Hi,

Are there any guidelines as to the best way to store FO's and EO's? I know a cool, dark place in a dark glass bottle is best, but do they need ventilation or are there any risk factors I need to know about? I think I read somewhere that they can catch fire on their own (???) but I do not recall the circumstances. Obviously, keeping them away from an open flame lol

Thanks!

I have about 500 FO's or EO's at any particular time. EO's go in amber glass bottles. My FO's are in PET plastic due to local earthquakes. (had a small rumble this morning). I bought a wardrobe cabinet and they are stored in there. I live in a hot desert. Never had any of them catch on fire.
