+RJFerret Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 The American Sci & Surplus catalog came today with a couple items I've seen folks look for here... Aluminum micro pill containers ($3.75 for 3) Shrinky-dink style plastic (but clear) Enjoy, Randy PS: They do have a $10 minimum, but lotsa' great trade items and the like... Quote Link to comment
+JMBella Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 (edited) Very cool. Thanks for the link Randy. Check out the water tight Bead Keeper for micro or multis. Lot of great stuff. On the next episode of: Storage Jars! Edited August 21, 2004 by JMBella Quote Link to comment
+writer Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Good to know. I've used aluminum capsules about 3/4" in length in the past, but they weren't waterproof (though now I'm wondering if I could add an o-ring as a gasket). Fun to use... Quote Link to comment

+fly46 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Why do geocachers want shrinky dink plastic? I must be missing something.. . . I believe a while ago someone was using them for signature items (printing her avitar on them and shrinking it).... I'm going to use it to make TB tags for my upcoming TB race. Thanks for the link.. I just spent 30 minutes on that site! Quote Link to comment

GeoWorms Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Good to know.

I've been using similar things for some of my micros--the o-rings don't hold up to weather very well (As in degraded to mush in less that a month of dry CA heat). They're still cool containers, just don't expect miracles. Quote Link to comment
adampierson Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Shinky-dinks? I guess folks can use them to make signature items or use them as way point tags Quote Link to comment
