Fevicol keeps drying in its drum, leading to wastage of same
Drum is covered from all sides within a wooden box with cover on the top also.
Drying of fevicol has reduced upto the 60 %. Quality of fevicol remains as is throughout its consumption from the drum, for change in its viscosity is NEGLIGIBLE.
