Livo Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Anyone have any recommendations for the best tupperdor containers. I've ruled out a cooler because of how it needs to stack in my closet. I've been looking at different totes and plastic containers from the container store. http://www.container...71235&rpp=10000 Probably a dumb question, but does it need to be 100% airtight or would mostly airtight be better? I'm thinking this would require recharging beads more often, but would allow a little more airflow. Needs to hold 5-10 boxes. Thanks, Livo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surucipe Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'm by no means an expert but those watertight trunks on that site look like they would do the trick quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigatoh Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'm just using standard tupperware containers where the lid clicks shut if you see what I mean, no clips/clasps/seals/etc and they work fine with beads, occasional recharges but far less than my desktop humi, more than my cabinet... Swings and roundabouts eh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning towards those. Or maybe the Stor-It-All Totes depending on how well they seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInSmoak Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I currently use the one you linked the page to, watertight totes. This contained works great. RH barely budges, and I hardly ever have to recharge the beads in it. I have it completely filled with boxes/cabs. I'm actually looking to add a second to stack on top. Thanks for the link, now I know where to get it. The store I bought it no longer carries them I recommend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livo Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 So right before I was about to go to the store to check out the tupperware containers my wife says she has a container in her car with some blankets in it that I might be able to take the blankets out of and use. I go to look and it is the exact container I was going to the store to check out - I mean exactly. Emptied it, wiped it out with some distilled water, and am working on bringing it up to a proper humidity level now. It already had absolutely no plastic smell so it barely required any prep. Has a good seal. Looks like it is going to work fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInSmoak Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Show us a pic when when you have the goods loaded up! I found myself at the container store a couple days ago and picked up the 30qt size. Beads are enroute so it's just a matter of time til I get her filled up!

CanuckSARTech Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Sterilite has a line of plastic containers now, that come in some varying sizes, some quite large, and they are clear plastic with a great rubber/silicone seal/gasket to them, and locking clasps/handles on two opposing sides. Those might be a great option. Something like this.... The ones pictured are 20-quart ones, but I know they come in different sizes and shapes. And Sterilite stuff is fairly commonly available at most if not all of the big chain stores, I think. I'd definitely recommend more sealed as your best option.

It works great! Hopefully, with self control it'll be big enough. I'll try to get a pic of my young, modest collection up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
