I HATE winter, and it's here, HOWEVER.............

This is an experiment, I have "3 others" this summer. Someone on here suggested and I did this on the other 3, have yet to do so on this one........Take saran wrap, lay around the barrel rim, then apply a bead of caulk in the lid groove. This is intended to make a gasket that will release. "We'll see"

Gotchya. So you're just storing it in the barrel so it won't rust "any more".
