This kind of scared me. I opened my gunpowder storage cabinet and was greeted with a strong and pungent odor. I checked the containers carefully and found that my accurate 4350 was weeping some fluid from the lid. I carefully opened it and was greeted with a dark red gas (and I suspect the source of the odor-it smelled the same. I filled the container with water, shook it some and carefully spread it in my garden. I hope I did the right thing. Comments? Don't be afraid of hurting my feelings.

This is one of the signs of deteriorated powder. The liquid [and the gas] tends to be acidic, and smells acrid.
I had 21 lbs of a powder from higginson's go bad this way. The corrosiveness of the liquid was dramatic.
I had a magnificent fire in my backyard firepit when I burned it all at one time. I'll bet the flame was 30 feet high. D.
