[QUOTE="Wet Dottle, post: 99857, member: 192"] I've used paint cans in the past with success, but I only did it twice. Used empty paint cans bought at Home Depot. I think they were 1 pt cans, they had approximately 1 lb of tobacco. To can, I lined the can with freezer-type ziplock bags and pressed the tobacco into them, leaving enough room to zip them closed. Closed the lid and sealed it with a ring of silicone glue. Opened the first can when it was 6 years old. No signs of rust inside or out. Opened the second can when it was 9 years old. It had a few very minor rust spots on the outside, on the rims. No rust on the inside. Both times the tobacco was moist and had aged as expected (it was McClelland's 2035 Navy Flake). At the time I was looking for ways to store bulk tobacco and didn't like the glass jars because of bulk and weight. If I were to cellar bulk, I would go the paint can way. [/QUOTE]
