| BDH Container - Suitable for Lime?
Does anyone out there use BDH containers to store scrubber material? I've used them in the past for canoeing and, with a simple seal made from truck inner tube (see, another use for it ;-), they are pretty watertight. I've also seen them used as toolboxes on the A-Frames of RHIBs in the UK.
There is a 2.5l version. I've got a hunch that this might work for the Inspiration scrubber, so was thinking about giving it a try. Their original use is/was for storing some type of chemicals. I've never known what....
The aim would be to: a) Allow me to carry a scrubber fill at a time, reducing the total volume I need to take on any one trip b) Make large amounts more portable, as it would be broken down into smaller chunks and c) Expose a smaller amount to contamination/water when packing the scrubber on a boat.
Clearly, I could be missing something (like 2.5 Kg of lime doesn't fit in a 2.5 l container or lime will eat a BDH container ;-). Has anyone tried this and dumped it as an idea? If so, why? Does anyone know why I wouldn't want to do this?
Cheers,
