I'm working on a project, using "something" plastic for a float on salt
water. Am contemplating using one of the low, rectangular plastic
storage containers if I can cement it closed to make it water-tight.
Don't know what kind of plastic they are typically made of -
polystyrene, polypropylene? Hubby and I like to engineer small,
inconsequential projects ) Trying to rig a small, floating platform
to store kayak out of the water. Any helpful suggestions appreciated.
Since it's almost Christmas, you're welcome to make fun, as well )


How about PVC? You can use plastic ends. The parts are readily
available, inexpensive, and cut easily.
