[QUOTE="Delmer, post: 254028, member: 8219"]As the temperature changes, the air inside the containers constantly moves in and out.. and if the humidity changes around the container, the chance of condensation is certainly there. Seems to me that storage in a cool dry place is in order... The temperature a few feet below the frostline does not change but a half degree maybe.. EVER. You've thought about it.. now go dig that hole! :) How about inside a coffin, purged with argon gas or something? Heres another thought.. perhaps dip the slabs into wax? Get the slab good and warmed up first so the air inside can never push the wax out due to expansion. There will be a vacuum inside when it cools to storage temperature.
