Storage containers - good or bad?

PostPost by: Donels » Sat Apr 02, 2022 3:33 pm

I suspect it would be OK in a container. Most goods we get from the Far East are shipped that way and you don't hear reports of damaged goods due to moisture. Yes it will get hot in the sun, but hotter than a the car left out in the sun? I would think some members from the USA and France could give you advice.

I would contact some of the many companies to that convert containers for office use, storage, etc and ask for their advice before dismissing it. If you're concerned about moisture you can get industrial silica gel used for storing aero engines etc.

I think you mean micro-blisters. Orange peel is usually when there's too much paint on a panel.... but get what you mean... don't want any nasty surprises!
