Ok, it sounds absurd as a title but hear me out...
I’ve been back and forth on how I want to store chips. As much as I’d love to display at home...it’s just not in the cards for me. So I’ve been leaning toward the Pelican/Apache case route.
One thing that keeps coming to mind though...
In the gun world, long term storage in a clam shell case leads to rust from the foam leaching the oils from the metal. Rarely recommended.
I know chips aren’t metal and they’re not ‘coated’ in oil...but I’d just like to hear from anyone who has stored chips this way for years issue free before I go that same route. Anyone able to vouch for the technique??
(And before someone says it...yes...they’ll routinely come out to play. But those hours hardly compared to hours locked in over time!)
Thanks in advance all!
