Good evening Tim,

The Keens Mustard tins do not have a lid gasket. The larger container has a top that comes off well, the smaller containers top is difficult to remove. They would both need to be sealed with tape after the PSK stuff is added.

Some tobacco tins have a small rubber gasket seal in the lid (nice), most candy/mint tins do not.

I have an addiction to PSK container collecting!

Mike

hi Jcurphy ..you can find new/clean empty tabacco tins at a place called "Best Glide" (i think its listed here in the retailers suppiers listing)they provide a whole range of hard to find survival equipment to folks who fly etc here in the U.S.A....i for one use the S.A.S survival theme and also have a real tabacco tin for my PSK (i dislike the altoids tin ,its to darn small for me)and also use a survival pouch for larger items..good luck and train with your kit...vince g. 11b inf...

Another alternative would be to use a Nestle's Quick container. They come in several sizes so you can choose the size of your kit by the size of the container. Bright yellow plastic which is good for finding it if dropped in the dark or inside your bag. Easily sealable with some tape. Me and my buddy make some FAKs out of these a while back, works well IMO. And there is the bonus of tasty chocolate milk while emptying the can laugh although there is also strawberry and I believe vanilla(the vanilla is usually in the hispanic specialty foods section wink

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but www.trackofthewolf.com has brass snuffboxes that might serve your purpose.
Other than that, get a can of maya dust and reuse the can.

One other option - look around for a round Daisy .22 caliber pellet box. They are about the size of a snuff can but they have a screw on lid.

Check your local headshop.

And remember to look at camera and drive cases. Not as hard, but larger and less expensive than a tin of tobacco.
