[QUOTE="bigj1972, post: 358922, member: 811"] Just remember... Filament as well as all plastics (including flexibles) absord moisture. Get into storing your stuff in air tight containers with color changing and rechargeable moisture absorbers. Moisture in the plastic does affect its extrusion and density. Don't count on manufacturers, especially dental, in packaging your stuff properly. I get bags of pellets all the time that have a pinhole in it. And in the old days they used to ship vacuum form sheets, not vacuum sealed. So they didn't know about plastic and moisture either till they started getting complaints. [/QUOTE]
