A Way To Make Hard Plastic Cases Air Tight?

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 4012 Posts	Posted 04/24/2018 12:51 pm At a recent coin club meeting, I noticed that one of the members had some of his silver coins in those hard plastic 2x2s, but he had sealed the edges with pieces of that metal "duct tape" that is often used for sealing metal duct work. He thought that it would make the cases completely air tight. This seemed like a very interesting idea, so I thought to ask the CCF if they have heard of this or used it?

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/24/2018 1:11 pm Ahh, duct tape has GLUE...chemicals ya know? Doncha think t may be a bit risky to add the element of sealed vapors into the mix? It would be just as rediculous to superglue the edges. A quality "Air-tight" by its name is all that is needed or use vacuum sealing food wrapping, that is coinsafe as well!

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 04/24/2018 1:45 pm I would just use an Airtite. Duct tape may expose the coin to chemicals in the tape. Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 4012 Posts	Posted 04/24/2018 6:07 pm So maybe it is not such a brilliant idea. The next time I see him I will mention that. Report this Post to the Staff
USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 04/24/2018 6:46 pm Thank you very much....so now I have a visual of that guy in the coin club holding his coin albums together with baling wire. Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 4012 Posts	Posted 04/24/2018 9:42 pm @USSID18, actually he does not use bailing wire! His collection is well organized in 2x2s and binders (well except for the metal duct taped plastic holders. But he is a kind of DIY guy, he built a lot of his house, so why not make his own coin holders? Report this Post to the Staff

Next time you go to that coin club meeting, take a picture of that guys hard plastic 2x2s with duct tape. We would love to see those. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17230 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 03:43 am In the plastic itself is permeable so over time gases will go right through the plastic itself. So the plastic holders may be a resistant but they aren't airtight. Gary Schmidt Report this Post to the Staff
