    EQ got really cold...

    Alright, last night I go to get a vial of EQ out of my truck, and it got alittle cold, it didnt freeze, but it formed these wierd crystal/sphere things, I tried to warm it up with my hands, and some of them went away, but not all, can I still use it? What should I do to get the rest to go away?

    Possibly put the vial in the microwave, for about 5-10 seconds,, but also stick a pin thru the stopper, so air build up can escape.

    Wait for more replies tho.

    maybe safer to let it sit in moderately hot water for a couple of minutes and see if they start dissipating.

    Boil 1/4 inch of water , swirl in water until crystals go away, I dont like using gear that crashed, can you get more?And yes stick needle to release pressure while swirling.

    What i was told to do is boil some water, about a 1/2 inch or a little less, once it is boiling, pull the pot off of the burner, stick a pin into the top of the vial to vent and stick your vial in the hot water for about 5-10 minutes or until the crystal desolve. Maybe swish it around here and there as the vial is sitting in the water.

    If your tap water gets very hot, this will do fine. Just let is sit in the hot water 3/4 submerged with a vent pin in the top until it looks normal again. If you have more than one vial, I would start with a fresh vial and order a replacement, but save the frozen one for last.
