Guys,
I have a bunch of tubes of 36" filler rods for all sorts of different materials and I'm not going to be using my gear for a while due to an upcoming back surgery in Jan. I am thinking of just making some 6" dia PVC pipe with a threaded tops and a capped bottoms and sealing them well. What I'm wondering is should I put desiccant packs in the tubes and/or put Schrader valves on them and vacuum evacuate the air out or purge them with nitrogen gas or another gas to prevent or slow down degradation of the filler. I sometimes see that I have dulled filler and I just wipe them down with steel wool or MEK on a shop towel. Just looking to protect my investments. Any ideas or things you use to protect your fillers? I am not about to dump $15.00 on the store bought cute little 36" containers for rod when I can make it for pennies on the dollar and do it better.
Thanks gang,
Rob

PS: I'm still going to be in CA on the 11th so let the good times roll before I get chopped up again.
