Film Canisters: 15 Pack

Why we love it?

These durable canisters are also popular for first aid kits, science experiments, and geocaching containers. Micro precision fitting lids allow pressure to build up inside the canister - commonly used for FILM CANISTER ROCKETS.

Some comments about this we saw on the web:

* /u/Burn-O-Matic on /r/BurningMan I think this is great. I hope to run across one in the future. So I thought about how I would go about this for maximum ease of return.

Supplies:

Cameras (this style kind of important to my plan)
Plastic Mailer Bags
Film Canisters
Printable Postage Stamps
Cord/twine/string, Sharpie, small drill/pointy object, zip ties, and booze (for yourself and/or helpers)

Work:

Weigh the camera and one plastic mailer with your ~~drug~~ kitchen scale. Use that weight and the farthest US city from you (contiguous US only?) to calculate a maximum shipping cost with the USPS. Enter all that info into Stamps.com and print out the required number of printable stamps (don’t forget to select the option for irregular or non-machinable item to include $.22 surcharge). Self address the mailer bags and write instructions on the outside of the film canisters. Poke or drill out small hole in top and bottom of the film canister. Thread string through and tie knot at end of string on bottom. Lay one postage label against inside canister wall and pack mailer bag inside. Close top and knot again to hold lid securely on. Strap a zip tie around camera between bump outs for lens and camera roll and between button and counter. Tie film canister package to camera using the zip tie.
