I want to make an inexpensive storage canister to attach the the butt of my backplate similar to the OMS canister.
My plan is to cut a length of 2 inch pvc pipe. Generously glue a cap on one end to seal it.
It is the other end that has me. I have thought of gluing a male threaded adapter on the other end and using a female cap. I would put an o ring around the male adapter and perhaps an o ring up inside of the female cap. I would cut down the male adapter so that it would screw into the female cap enough to put pressure on the o ring.
What has me concerned is that in the event I need to get into it will be too hard to unscrew. I have to use a strap wrench to unscrew my Nemo light. I am chick and my hands just aren't that strong.
I don't plan to get in and out of it that often as it will have a strobe, some chem sticks and few other things.
What do you guys suggest?
