Topband: Waterproofing a tupperware - drainage & advice

[HAROLD SMITH JR]

Gary, I would provide a drainage hole at the lowest point of the box. A one inch diameter hole covered with very fine screen wire. I would glue it in with silicon-rubber glue. If the box is sealed completely, you will have a buildup of condensation, been there and had it. I had a prop-pitch motor that was completely sealed. I always had water in it. It was condensation, I provided a drain hole at the lowest point and all was well. 73 es GL...Price W0RI

Rather than invent a poorly designed 
wheel, maybe someone here has already 
successfully worked out a better solution 

I don't want to make access holes for 
insects but I need to keep it dry inside.
Once the holes are sealed there isn't much 
access for water getting in. Murphy being 
a McGuiver, should I drill a couple small 
holes in the bottom for drainage or should 
I leave it as is and not provide for 
drainage?
