So does that mean that it’s fine if it’s in like a tube with a cork?

If it is air tight it shouldn't be a problem, the high vapor pressure makes that difficult if the temperature changes. You should look up proper storage procedure. I was told dangerous substances are only dangerous if they are where the shouldn't be. Poison that looks like candy is totally save if placed in a locked poison shelf. Dangerous if left in the candy shelf.
