A couple of weeks ago I was just getting into bed when I heard a loud POP sound from the kitchen. I didn't find anything upon my initial search, so I didn't think much of it. I just went to make more calcium hypocholorite solution for my cloners, and found that it was the mason jar lid that corroded, then exploded -
I know this chemical compound off gasses, as there was always a pop when I open the jar. But I think the heat of summer in the pantry accelerated the process of gassing and corrosion. It didn't react with the glass, of course, but it destroyed the metal lid. I'm now going to keep these granules in a plastic Folger's coffee can instead. @cannabineer , is this just as stupid an idea?
Mind your chemistry, folks...

I'd give the plastic Folger's can a try. Yeah, chlorine compounds and iron don't do well together at all. The plastic should work, but I've had interesting plastic-container failures. I'd inspect it every coupla months ... and have a plan B if the container or lid start to get brittle.
~edit~ Put'em in a Ziploc bag ... should contain the gases ... and place the bag in your coffee can. If the bag shows discoloration, brittleness or some other sign of going south, simply replace the bag "and Bob's yer uncle".

So no ammonia and Clorox in the garbage bags to keeps the skunks and racoons out overnight?
Had a guy on one of the ships I rode mix the two together to swab a deck.
He passed out and was lucky somebody found his dumb ass before he checked out permanently.

Trouble is you're more likely to gas songbirds, curious children and unicorns (who are unfortunately compelled by the exotic, mysterious fragrance that chloramine is to them).

Bet that deck f'n sparkled though
He didn't get very far that night - I had him do it again the following evening.

They make plastic lids for both diameters of mason jars.
I laughed until I cried. Call me when you don't go below 96 (at night). Then again it's a dry heat (whatever the fuck that means). Finally we are having a miracle year. It's hotter EVERYWHERE else than here! I don't think we broke 97 today and this is JULY we are always over 114.

You're still enjoying my Solo cup gasoline failure, aren't you?

It stands to reason; polystyrene is a wax, and waxes are famous for ambushing otherwise capable pros
... like distilling when they really shouldn't
