Hey guys. I kindof accidentaly stumbled onto this idea because I had left an empty latex paint can outdoors. The combination of the sun and rain had made the paint inside the can peel out easily. Now I have a perfectly clean can to use.
Hmmm.....What to do with it?
I remember those old surplus ammo cans that are sealed from the elements and packed with ammo and figure that a paint can should be just as weatherproof.
Just pack it up nice and full with the caliber of your choice, pop in a small dessicant packet, and pound the lid shut with a rubber mallet. If you were really paranoid about it being weather proof, you could stretch some saran-wrap over the lid before you pound it down.
Plus-you have natural camo for your ammo hoard and can store it in plain sight, in your garage. I haven't ever heard of people getting half-emply paint cans stolen.
See? I'm glad that I'm a packrat. I got a new use out of something that normally goes into the trash.
