DEET disolves nylon, rayon, acetate...and some paints, but poly bags seem impervious.

If you have DEET on your hands be careful not to touch your tent fabric...and be extra extra careful not to spill or spray any inside a tent

Larry,

I always understood that 'Deets' disolves plastic and therefore wondering
about your recommendation to pour 'Deets' into a plastic bag?

Curious if anyone else has such understanding.
