Hey wow, that sounds like a truly simple alternative, cuboy! A little less hassle than silicone… not that silicone is a huge hassle, but jars of vaseline sit there for years… silicone is a tube that dries up, doesn’t wash off with water, etc.
Thanks for chiming in! I think we’re working up a range of solutions here. @ady624 over in a related thread I just made, polling about sealing problems, also suggested a simple ziplock bag. A bag won’t work in every situation, but it’s certainly easy and fast, and will work in some.
These are aside from the issue of whether something should even be sealed at all, as @JDRoberts is saying… that’s why I made the poll.
Thanks, everyone! Community at work!
