Well I took everyone's advice and got everything "under glass". I think the rookie mistake I made was getting 8 oz glasses. I soon remembered that ounces are a unit of weight not mass(size) so my 2 oz. of Hal O' the Wynd doesn't really fit into an 8 oz. jar. But 8oz. of Ma's blueberry jam does! Clearly they're not thinking of pipe smokers at the Ball Company. In the end bigger is better, I got some 32 oz. jars and all is well. Peace-Mike :bball:
