Re: [VFB] material storage

I too use the plastic drawers from WalMart.   Big ones for saddles, necks, deer tails etc -- smaller ones for marabou, flashabou, dubbing and other small stuff.   I got some bugs in mine off when I picked up some road kill and my wife unbeknownst to me decided it should be stored with all my other stuff -- so I've got moth balls in mine.   All the materials are still in their plastic packaging -- so hopefull they won't be affected by the mothballs.   Cedar chips are supposed to work well to ward off moths too -- and they aren't as smelly as mothballs.   Ken MacGillivray Vancouver     ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 3:08 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] material storage 7:17 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Quick question - how do you store your materials - feathers, fur, etc.? George; I use plastic drawers from WalMart but many folks here advise using mothballs in any container to ward off moths.  So far my $1000+ of saddles and necks have not been attacked but I've been warned.  There is enough gap in the drawers to allow moths in but I am concerned about the smell affecting my flys to the point the fish will be turned off.  I don't know who has the better idea.
