Don't mean to hijack this thread but does crashed gear = bad gear? If so, how does good gear go bad?

There are several reasons this can occur.. Temperature and proper storage are a important factor..

I've got some old prop sitting around that finally crystalized. I'll try and see if I can get the crystals to show up in a pic

you should be able to just heat some water in a pan get it to where it is like steaming or almost bubbling not boiling by any means and just swirl it in the water until they are gone. i have done this success. but my npp @ 150mg/ml still will crash after about a month.

Here's a REALLY crappy pic... sorry for the quality. But cam took a crap so I'm stuck w/ a crappy pic phone. But I circled the crystals.

As Lex said... heating some water and sticking the vial in should work. You should stick a needle in the top when doing this to allow air to vent.

This was a 3 yr old bottle of ARL prop 100. Funny, that of the three "sample bottles" I had recieved from my guy, one had tiny crystals that went back into solution w/ shaking, then there's the one you see, and the other is still perfect. These things are from like 05. I should have used them...to bad...lol.
