| I have some 5 gal buckets I want to use they have lids but do not look to be excellent sealers is there any tape i can use to better seak or is it my best bet to insert mylar bags? Thanks M |

Mascher, If the lids are ok, you can put silicone on the lid before sealing. If not, U.S. Plastics has nice lids with seals for about $1.50 and shipping is not bad. I would encourage you to go ahead and use mylar just as a risk abatement tool. I.e. if you need this stuff, you REALLY need it. There is a link to the U.S. Plastic lids and mylar bags in this thread.

Thats a nice place to do business. I need to get another catalog. Just use some silicon like the other poster said, and get a lid lifter to make it easier to open up later. The Gamma seals are nice, but they are expensive if your storing multiple buckets. Its a lid that fits on a bucket with a threaded and gasketed lid inside the regular lid. The last time I bought Gamma seals they were about $10 each. |
