I've just ordered a supply of these and have a couple concerns.
1. Does the stuff have a shelf life I should be aware of?
2. Can I store the material (and finished flies) in styrene boxes or will it dissolve the styrene?
Thanks for the advice.

Do not leave them in a hot vehicle. The material will degrade.
WHat's a Squirmy Wormy?

Not sure how much this stuff is like plastic worms used for bass fishing, but I have some plastic worms over 30 years old still in good condition. Shelf life has not been a problem with them, the Plano worm box has gotten old and broken.

Odd. I bought some of that material from Spirit River and the stuff degraded pretty much over night. Not at all as durable as standard plastic worm material. Threw the rest away.
