Hey all, need to pick your brains here please. I want to know if storing my filler rods in a sealed cabinet or 10"+ dia sealed PVC pipe with a threaded cap and a Schrader valve to purge via shop vac gizmo I whipped up and fill with Argon and a few military desiccant pads is going to make a difference. I do have some Titanium and other Iconel odds&ends I paid a lot for but use only on the occasional odd job but it's nice to have on hand. Am I wasting my time with this project? Not like I can see spending more than a few hours and $20 bucks or so but I would assume having the rod exposed to air is detrimental, esp. to the Ti. rods and my beloved stocks of HTS I never saw a cabinet or anything but even a few smaller ones to segregate the rods might be worth it if it's not a waste of time. Normally I burn through plenty of Al. and steel filler so that's
99% dealer fresh but I just wondered and I need something to do over the next few days. Any thoughts if this is stupid or not a bad idea? Some of that filler was big bucks and I'd like to preserve it if it's possible. Plus I have a few cool low pressure, low vacuum combination gauges that I would like to put to use.
Thanks as usual,
Rob

PS: Just started working with Spitzer Chassis to design the Rolls Royce Viper engine into the new jet dragster "Burnin' bucks" Plan on it being the debut car once I open the doors in the CA. shop. I need a GOOD jet mechanic, God, they don't come cheap! What a learning curve I have to try.... Better call State Farm.
