Kester recommends that we store our 1400 gm tubes on the tip. Our documentation is based on their recommendation. The Alpha past we used was stored horizontally, but that was because the flux readily separated from the metal.

Yngwie, In a previous life, I used a mixer made by Malcolm and was very happy with it. We used Alpha 609 WS paste and experienced no separation problems. The Malcolm equipment agitated the material in a non-concentric motion which tends to "fold
