powdering tubes

[skypilot110]

I have two new tubes and the wifes vaccuum sealer is out on the counter in the basement. I am going to pre powder them in the vaccuum sealed bags where they stay sealed and dry. Those bages are pretty heavy duty and will hold up better that the zip lock bags I used to used doubled up. I think I will go test this idea at the PineBarrens 300 this year. I need you all to back me up on this when my wife comes asking. It is very important that somebody test this tube storage method in a properly harsh environmenty, right guys?
