Re: Block Storage

[Dave64 <lt7dave@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to everyone for all of the replies - keep them coming.  I wonder if leaving it unwrapped, but treated would be a good idea?  That would keep it from trapping moisture - but it may subject it to more moisture overall. 

 

No matter what I do, I can check it from time to time to see if there are any problems developing - including even unwrapping it and re-wrapping it.  More thoughts?

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

Dave, I don't think you can  do enough to keep out condensation
moisture. especially  in a changeing  temp. atmoshere. Yesterday, I
opened a sealed plastic bucket of sand blast sand and the insides were
covered with moisture beads and the sand was all wet. . You have some
good tips here and I am curious  as to know how long those pitchers
rosin bags would last.Good Luck! ...................MO
