Sid,
I believe if you mix liquid and air in a sealed container, then the air will come out of the liquid quicker than in an open container. Reason being is the sealed container will create a partial vacuum above the surface of the liquid, helping to suck the air bubbles back out.
Well, wasnt it a good thing that I had to take my hand off the top in order to see what was happening to the liquid? I didnt have a lid as it was somewhere in the depths of the bin and I wasnt going to rummage around for it, and had to use my latex gloved hand to cover the top while shaking.
Therefore my test proves AnFI's theory, and your loyal support of it, to be flawed
