Just as FYI: Lowe's sells 4 ft lengths of PVC, which are manageable, and usable without cutting them down. On the tube, I was wondering about tying plastic twine to each part so I can lift them out.
I do have a question: I have a lot of PF parts (screws, posts, etc) that I pulled out of evaporust, wiped down to dry, and forgot to rinse with water. Is this going to create an issue later on?
