The Flask's Resting Place: Tips for Proper Storage of Your Ragproper Flask

While Ragproper flasks are built for adventure, even the most intrepid explorers need a rest sometimes. Proper storage is essential to ensure your flask remains in pristine condition and ready for your next adventure. Here are some tips to keep your trusty companion safe and sound when it's not hitting the trails, tailgates, or concert venues.

Empty and Clean:

Before storing your flask, make sure it's completely empty and thoroughly cleaned. Any residual liquid can cause corrosion or unwanted flavors in your next drink. Rinse the flask with warm water and a mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely. For leather-wrapped flasks, gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner to keep it supple.

Location, Location, Location:

Store your flask in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing it in humid environments, as this can promote the growth of mold or mildew. A drawer, cabinet, or even a dedicated flask display case are all excellent options.

Avoid Extreme Temperatures:

Extreme heat or cold can damage your flask, especially if it's made of glass. Avoid storing it in a hot car or near a heat source, and don't put it in the freezer (even though it might be tempting to chill your whiskey that way!).

Standing Up or Lying Down?

For most flasks, storing them upright is the best option. This prevents any liquid from coming into contact with the cap, which can cause corrosion over time. However, if you have a flask with a delicate engraved design, you might want to store it lying down to protect the engraving.

Leather Care:

If your flask has a leather wrap, proper storage is crucial for maintaining its beauty and longevity. Keep it away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading, and avoid storing it in damp or humid environments. Occasionally apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out.

Additional Tips:

• If you're storing your flask for an extended period, consider adding a silica gel packet to absorb any moisture.

• Avoid storing your flask with other metal objects, as this can cause scratching or tarnishing.

• If you have multiple flasks, consider storing them in individual pouches or cases to prevent them from bumping against each other.

By following these simple storage tips, you can ensure that your Ragproper flask remains in pristine condition for years to come, ready to accompany you on countless adventures and celebrations.
