I've installed the batteries in the floor and I need to make a lid that's as close to airtight as is reasonable. I have a couple flush set, compression latches like you'd see on a boat locker, and they pull the lid down about 1/8" ...thinking I won't use a hinge since that creates an uneven pinching of any gasket.
I've been Googling gaskets and see a number of options...seems like door weather strip won't really give the seal I'm looking for, and fridge replacement gaskets are maybe a good choice. Can't say I've ever had a reason to ponder gasket properties and choices before, so wide open to suggestions...
