Howdy,
Thanks for the reply Bob. The only thing that worries me about being
in Texas is the amount of moisture, high dewpoints, in the air. I keep
the cases out of the sun as much as possible, and when they are not in
the use they are kept in a cool dark area. I keep a few silica gel
packets, the

Until today Cotty I never even considered mites as a possible problem.
I'll keep an eye out for them now. Maybe I should spray the outside of
my case with an insecticide. ;-)
That should do it.
I must admit I've never seen them either. Has anyone

It depends on the foam. Some foams especially from the 70's degrade in
very unfriendly ways.

Pelican supplied foam does not emit gases. If you buy foam from another source,
it could be a problem. It should be marked as emissions free. Some of the foam
sold as packing material emits quite a bit of nasty stuff.

Thanks Paul P.J.
This is modern foam, ie not from the 70's :). This is the foam that is

for use as storage. Sure would save time. :)
