saint308 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I need to order some more plastic. I trying to decide whether to buy 1 gallon or 5 gallons. I can store 1 gallon in my house, but not a 5 gallon bucket. If I buy a 5 gallon bucket will it be alright to leave it outside in my garage (sealed of course)? Please keep in mind I live in Louisiana, and the temps get pretty warm. Like I said before, it would be stored under my garage. Thanks for your help. Saint.

woodsac Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I live in the CA desert and we see 120* every summer I keep my 5 gallon jugs in the garage. But usually not for very long. I transfer the plastic to 1 gallon jugs and store them inside in the shop. I have the advantage of having my shop inside and not in the garage The heat shouldn't be a problem. It's the humidity you have to watch out for! Just make sure that whatever container you decide on, is closed up tight so no moisture gets into it.

texasbass1 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I keep mine in the garage here in Texas and we have both the heat and humidity. Just keep it sealed up as Wood recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint308 Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I am assuming by sealed you mean snapping the cover, as opposed to putting some type of seran wrap over the top? Thanks. Saint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyGambler Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Does a one gallon milk jug work for storing plastic? How bout an orange juice jug? There is always glass but rather not. Please advise as to what plastic jugs are ok to store plastic, don't want the plastic eating through the jug. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Nutty...The plastic may eventually eat through those jugs but your biggest concern will be making sure the inside of those jugs are super clean!!! please go to the TU Search and search forums....Do a search in the plastics forums for storing plastic as this topic has been hit many times before. I'm sure that Lurecraft has the bottles you are looking for. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
