Default How to pack/store spare parts

Check out http://www.daubertvci.com/. These guys are the experts in
corrosion control. Their products (paper, plastics, cushioned packaging,
liquids, etc.) are impregnated with chemicals that prevent corrosion. You
can pick which one you need for your application.

We use a Foodsaver vacuum sealing system. Some of the parts
have to be wrapped in a cloth like a paper towel so that the
part does not puncture the bag (alternator, etc).

Looking for good method to pack long term spare parts on long term
cruise - like a spare alternator, starter, diesel injector pump,
expensive things.

What I'm thinking is a very heavy gauge individual bags - something
like almost 1/8" thick. Taped up with the clear packing tape that's
about 2" wide. You need to be able to see what's inside.

The Seal-a-Meal and other vaccum pack stuff is way too thin to last on
a cruising boat for 6+ years.

I've found very heavy bags on the net - but you need to buy 100 or a
1000 at a time.

Also - looking for something to put in the bag as an anti-rust,
corrosion, etc inhibitor.

Any suggestions?
