It also helps the draw time and the injection time when I warm the Test first.

Usually wife does it for me by sticking in her bra for a few hours. Either way

still need to wipe off rubber stopper with alcohol before drawing.

Do you keep your Test shots in the fridge this is not a good Idea. I never keep

mine cold so I just take it out and draw the oil and shoot.

Me too (not in the refrig).  I keep it on my dresser - not in the bathroom

because of the heat and humidity in a bathroom.
