Get yourself a 20mil ammo can but make sure the rubber seal in the lid is still good.If it's dried out, wipe it down with some Armoural or vaseline to mosten it up. I even keep my 600 grit greaseless buffing compund in an ammo can. They say it has a shelf life of 6 months, I've had my current stock for almost two years and no problems yet. Also, for more sensitive things like ivory and stag and such, I keep it in the house wrapped up real good in news paper. Never had any shrinkage problems that I'm aware of. Hope the ammo can idea helps you out! Take care! Michael
