I have a Koetsu Rosewood Sig that I want to put into long term storage. The cart has been recently rebuilt so I would like to protect it from the elements as much as I can.
I am thinking of perhaps vacuum sealing it? Would that help?
doesn't dry air harden the suspension over time? I was told to store them in moise air instead. you rather have mold which will not affect sound than hardened suspension?
Semi, Oxygen is a reactive gas. It and Ozone (O3) are what causes rubber to harden and degrade. If it is removed from the container, the atmosphere is inert and no oxididative degeneration can occur.
BTW the reason for specifying glass and metal is that most polymers are highly permeable to oxygen. The exceptions (such as PVDC (Saran) and EVOH) can be hard to find.
