Hi,
iv been making my own CD for the past 7 years, each time successfully. I am scrupulous in following the instructions etc. But this latest batch which as usual I left
overnight in a dark cupboard, is amber coloured, and smells pungent BEFORE I add an activator. btw the way sodium chlorite powder I used is from the same tub that I keep in the fridge. Any ideas about what went wrong? Should I throw it away?

Thanks for any comments you may have

Reeve

A bit hard to tell what you're cooking.
"Making CD" as in MMS, or MMS1?- MMS being Sodium Chlorite 22,4% and MMS1 being activated Sodium Chlorite..
"Pungent" as in Clorine Dioxide, or?
"Amber colored" typically would be a sign of chlorine dioxide being generated. In case you intended to make MMS (and which is neither CD or MMS1), something acidic may somehow have been involved in the manufacturing.

"...sodium chlorite powder I used is from the same tub that I keep in the fridge."

The 'tub' is made of plastic? Has an airtight lid?

Something in the fridge may have gassed into the SC in the tub. You might want to check the recommended storage temp for SC flakes. Try making MMS1 and see if it is normal.

Some of my SC will result in a light amber color MMS at times, but no odor and seems to work okay.

Try making another batch of MMS from the same flakes and see if you get the same color MMS and odor.

Glass container, dark, cool and air tight for long term storage 2-10+ years. I tape my glass containers so there's less chance to loose everything if glass breaks. Also protects against light. I use metal lids but have a piece of plastic bag cover the mouth of glass and then put on the lid on top of that. Because metal lids tend to rust over time.
Cold, freezing fridge temperatures may cause condensation of air inside container and which then reacts with the sodium chlorite, shortening shelf life. Somewhere between 5-15°C is "cool" enough.
I keep my supplies in several containers and at different places. Sodium chlorite, and knowing how to use it, is gold
