No, but this was a long time ago for me, so my experience is probably irrelevant now.
The SN I obtained is not available anymore, to my knowledge.
Although I did actually "complain" to the manufacturer/distributor and made up some story about what it was meant for and why it needed to be sealed properly.
Which in retrospect was just unnecessary lol, but maybe I had a genuine reason for doing it at the time that I can't remember.
(I don't know if I still have access to what I said.)
Might have been because I was worried about ensuring shelf life since I had other preparations to take care of still and roadblocks to handle.
I'm trying to think of some excuses myself just incase my own stuff fails and I have to search again.
But knock on wood, because I would probably be out of my mind and beyond devastated if that happened. A wreck beyond what I already am.
Have you tried doing a forum search about this or messaging those who had to jump through hoops?
