[Dsg-rich] Dry boxes

[Tyler Lemon]

Amrit, 

All aerogel tiles that we have received, including the 8 tiles received Wednesday 7/5/2017, have been stored in a dry-box. Valery is referring to the fact that there is not space for any additional tiles we will receive in the future. 

We still have time until the next aerogel shipment to either procure the extra shelves from XDry or make shelves out of plastic or foam layers. 

Best regards, 
Tyler

marc, 
go today to lowes, buy some large plastic tote boxes, the big see through ones 50 gallon size. 
use the credit card 
place the aerogel separated from each other by a layer of bubble wrap or foam and put the boxes in the small clean room. 
brian/tyler please help marc.

Hi, 

FYI, I am looking into the cost to buy a few extra shelves from XDry. I have not heard back from them yet. Hopefully, we can get some for a reasonable cost, very quickly. 


Alternatively, if we can identify an appropriately sized plastic container, we can remove the tiles currently housed in cardboard and store them in plastic. Then we can store them in the dry box and place a tile on top of each box.

Dear all, 
let me put my coin on the discussion. 

To store aerogel in a limited space is risky as increases the 
probability to hit or scratch the tile while arranging it. 

We might add additional shelves provided that there is 
enough space for safe movements with hands. Alternatively, 
we might keep the shelves but stack 2-3 tiles with a 
sheet of foam in between. Of course, one always assume 
to not drag the tile along the surface (shelve or foam) 
but to simply lay it. 

Ciao, Marco.

Amrit, 

We are out of space in the dry boxes for our aerogel tiles. 
One of simple solutions is to make additional shelves in boxes. 
It will get us at least twice more space. Can you help us with this? 

Thanks, 
Valery
