Vacuum sealing???

[wytstang]

Has anybody tried (heard of anybody) vacuum sealing some products to try and preserve them? With all the #16 I have I will not live long enough to see the bottom of a few of them. So instead of having them possibly dry out on me I was thinking of vacuum sealing them.

I say forget the vacuum sealing and share your #16 with your fellow detailers instead. :p

:confused: Now that's a good question. I don't know, but from what I have seen, if the moisture stays in, the product will last. I think you're on to something. If I can help in any way, like buy a can :D from ya, let me know.

Hey wytstang, your post #555. If it would have been #666. No replies I bet.

LOL when I hit 666 I will post something quick to rid me of that number lol.

I remember seing a commercial on TV a while ago about vacum seal. It was basically designed for food, but I think it will work on anything. But I can't remember the name.

I have a vaccum sealer...I buy meat in bulk..cheaper..and I vaccum seal them...the vaccum removes the air which is a oxidizer ..I have found meat in the freezer over a year old and when thawed was as fresh looking as the day I put them in...

vaccum sealing your wax will basicly preserve it for a long time...you will be removing the air which in part is the oxidizer ..

I don't think the vacuum sealing could hurt, and I'd bet that it helps!

My wifes got the one's that suck a comforter into a small storage bag. Might be cool, but make sure the lids on tight !!

My guess is as long as the lid hasn't been removed the wax should be fine,now if the lids off and the wax was exposed to air then that my be a problem.

Thats the problem 3 of my tins were purchesed through specialtymotoring.com's dent and ding sale when he had some #16 left. 1 has the dent near the lid but I doubt the lids are air tight.
