Need help with plastic rack tubs

gilbery007 Jun 03, 2004 04:29 PM

Hi all, i bought some plastic tubs for a rack system im gonna build. After testing for 2 days the bottom of the tubs started to lift/warp from the heat, it was at a constant 88F.Does ne 1 know how i can stop this???Obviously something that isnt going to be dangerous like paper.Would paper run the risk of catching alight form the heat? Plz help me out guys/gals thx Gilbery007

Has the tub stopped warping?
Does it have any sort of smell? or does it feel soft?
If not i don't think you'll have a long term problem.
If you're still worried just get a more expensive plastic container.
also instead of paper i'd try a towel instead, i'm just not a fan of paper.
