Swim has never worked with ether before and has heard/read about all the dangers, peroxide formation, fire, etc. It seems pretty damn scary! A static charge could set it off!
But anyway, if one were to distill a small amount from starting fluid (making all fire safety precautions), say 250ml, and use it all immediately within the next 2 days, is there any risk of peroxide formation? So basically, are any stabilizers required? It seems as if most dangers come from ether that has been stored for quite some time. How long does it take for ether to form peroxides in contact with air?
