How to install SKB Mil-Std. Waterproof Case 6" with Cubed Foam

Installing and configuring this case is straightforward and designed to maximize protection for your equipment. Start by inspecting the gasket and lid to ensure the seal is clean and free of debris. Remove the Cubed Foam interior and plan your layout by identifying critical components and their required protection. Cut or reconfigure the foam cubes to create snug pockets for each item, keeping heavier gear toward the bottom for stability and lighter items toward the top for easy access. Place items into the foam recesses with a snug fit; avoid excessive compression of the foam, which could reduce its protective properties. Close the lid and engage the latches firmly to establish a tight seal; verify the gasket sits evenly without gaps or folds around the entire perimeter. If extra security is needed, you can add padlocks or lockable restraints to suitable latch points, ensuring that the case remains closed during transport. For ongoing protection, periodically inspect the gasket for cracks, tears, or wear, and wipe away dirt or salt spray that could compromise the seal. If the case is exposed to moisture, allow the foam to dry completely before resealing to maintain optimal sealing performance. When storing, keep the case in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of both the exterior shell and the foam interior over time.
