Alternative waterproofing?

[CaptKirk]

The Blue Ridge cases are by far the best technical solution for a water-proof case, but has anyone explored "alternatives" that might be a bit more acessible and or affordable?

I was wondering if something like Ziploc containers (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login) or Rubbermaid might be able to be used? They have various sizes, the lid pops off and on for access, easy to cut access holes, and inexpensive (get them at Walmart).  A little silicon on the standoff screws from the outside would seal it there.

Any experience here with this??  Am I repeating a previous thread?

Thx,

Interesting.

Your science officer is surprise by your low tech ideas. He figure you would ask for a force field shielding with proton torpedoes at the ready just in case the Romulans would attack. Also there doesn't appear to be any Walmart on Vulcan.

You know, I needed 1 box and didn't want to order a big batch, so I built a 12w x 12h x 6d box out of cheap 7/16 OSB, painted it, sealed it and mounted it on rebar.    I  put a clear trash bag over it while the paint was drying on the lid, but I ended up leaving the trash bag over it and not putting the lid on because I like to be able to see what the controller is doing when I walk by.

That works also!!
