Default Lee Valley StopLoss Bags

Anyone use these bags for storage of finish material?
I have two, one for their polymerized tung oil finish, and one for
polymerized tung oil sealer. Have used them for a few months and they
work well to keep the oil out of contact with air.
This morning noticed that the cap on the sealer had separated top from
sides. I emailed Lee Valley, asking for a replacement cap. Their reply
was that they would check on availability and price for a cap and let me
know.

Perhaps the plastic in the cap is not as resistant to finish as the bag
itself. I'll use a cork before buying a replacement cap.



I simply turn the can upside down so that the part that goes bad is on
the bottom when you open the can. Much less hassle for me. For longer
periods I add Bloxygen before sealing he can and turning upside down.
