[QUOTE="JohnnyFlake, post: 59337, member: 157"] I don't have any official statistics, but my experiences and discussions with others over the years, leads me to believe that simply leaving the tins as they are will produce great results about 75% of the time. Unfortunately, tins have a way of losing the air tight seal about 25% of the time over years in storage. Don't know what the reason is, but moving them around, bumping them, temperature variations, etc., can all play a part in that happening. If your going to leave stash the tins, I suggest that you box them up carefully and then put them in the coolest area in your home. Don't look at them from time to time, don't move them around and so on, until you plan on opening one. Personally, when stashing a tin for long term storage, I suggest vacuum sealing the tin with a food storage system. They are very effective and work extremely well with single or even double tins, placed side by side. The tins will stay sealed forever, once sealed in that manor. Food Saver System can be had now for about $60 and are very well worth it. Hell, you can actually even use them to store food. LOL! The Mason Jar method is okay, but much more difficult and not really as good! [/QUOTE]
