Question about those cheap carbon paste tubes that always split open
I lost about $15 and a whole morning's work when a brand new tube of carbon assembly paste burst in my bag, coating everything, and I'm torn between blaming myself for not checking the seal or the brand for using such flimsy packaging.

Double bag them in ziplocks next time.

That split tube problem is way more common than it should be. The real issue isn't the seal, it's the cheap plastic they use that gets brittle. I've seen it happen with a few different brands straight off the shelf. Your best bet is to transfer the paste into a small, sturdy plastic jar as soon as you buy it. Saves the mess and you won't waste the product.
