Pretty tightly sealed. A "Ziplock" bag of the right size works nicely.

The ME Super and the Super A may appear to handle this, but they
are not sealed, and the owner's manual does not recommend this kind
of treatment.

Congratulations Thrainn! As one who has been married several times, most
recently for more than 18 years, I am a strong supporter of the
institution. I attended a wedding on the 31st, far too many people, far
too much expense and extravagance, far too much food and free booze... A
family weddin
I was afraid of that. I had hoped to use somethingheavy to keep the wind from
blowing it around too much, but maybe I could sew something heavy into the
borders, e.g. weights for fishing lines.
