Reactive metals should be stored in dry mineral oil in an unbreakable bottle. The bottle should be placed in a plastic bag and sealed with a twist tie. The bag and bottle should be placed into a metal paint can and surrounded by cat litter. The metal lid should be firmly secured. Both the outside of the can and the individual bottle should be labeled with the chemical's name, concentration, how it can hurt you, and the date prepared.
