After lurking and searching through all the threads on shellac flakes, I have a few questions.
What is the shelf-life difference between unwaxed orange and unwaxed platina shellac?
Is it better to store the flakes in the freezer or ridge? I figured the constant opening of the fridge would result in temp/humidity jumps. Perhaps the freezer is a more stable/constant environment?
If the freezer and fridge are not good options; what about storing the flakes in an airtight bag, then place that bag in another ziplock bag which has some silica gel in it to absorb the excess humidity?
The relative humidity of the home can vary between 55-80% depending on the weather, so storing the flakes in a dark closet would not appear to be sufficient.
