Maximize
Storage Space
If shelf space is a problem, you are
permitted to place more than one
compatible chemical family on a shelf.
Make sure you either have a physical
divider or leave a 3" space between
each family. This will maximize your
tight shelf space while keeping each
compatible chemical fam ily separate
from one another.
