I place 3 snaps on the sides & 6 on the longer sides= 18 total snaps (36 total counting male and females)

I was going to use Velcro to attach the sides.... but snaps are more secure.

You must have a detachable liner on your bin, for EASY ACCESS to snap off and WASH FELT , you don’t want to store your armor and FORGET to unload and ending up smelling like gym shorts & sweat

I keep a container of Clorox Handy-wipes and a clean dry cloth in my bin.  I wipe the inside of each piece down and dry it before putting it in, so no musty smells.

I was afraid the Clorox would make abs brittle ?

I could have just SUPER GLUED the silver snap to the wall of the bin, but I decided to glue it to spare abs piece, that way the abs has MORE SURFACE to be attached to the wall = better SECUREMENT OF SNAP....

I did this 18 evenly spaced times. 6 on the sides (2xs) & 3 on the edges (2xs) around the inside of my bin..

I then get 1” foam and cut it 31”x16” ( for the bottom piece )
I cut felt piece 2” lager on each side =
35”x20”.
I wrap it on the foam with the red felt, but manage to pin it only. You can glue it or Velcro it...
I will just keep it pinned for now. EASY ACCESS for WASHING...

Let’s start with the lid now....

I went to Lowe’s an got a 2’x4’ piece of paneling for like $6 a good investment to use as the lid panel .

They are little disposable disinfectant/cleaner wipes that are made by Clorox.  There may be a minute amount of bleach (although they don't smell like it) but if so not enough to damage plastic.

I then spray painted the 9/16 hexagon screws red & my 1” aluminum TD & E-11 holders black (I had left over aluminum from making my TD clips ).

I then moved on to spray painting the main panel red I left it for like 2 hours outside in the Texas sun to COMPLETELY dry !!!28079381f708aade174249cf3d2caedf.jpg
(Please note I had to “ball park” by eyesight what I wanted my lid to have and make room for it )

I screwed the main panel to the top of my HUSKY lid with the red screws. I also aligned my blaster holders .cd9026d4b2037144536c3be43e7cf743.jpg

What I also installed was the length of 10” double sided Velcro to hold my E-11. I did that on each side.

I decided to go to the dollar store and picked up an all purpose utility box. 45b8c89b6d022d5141ff822bdef1678b.jpg

I then decided to keep my Husky drawer so I had to move everything 3” to the left in order for the lid could close. 3c49d907af2fcbd2a27a904a84fd089a.jpg

I left the right side empty on purpose:

1). So my lid can close.
2). I want to start putting pix of my troops, or
decorative Star Wars stickers...

I got TIRED of the inside screws of my bucket messing with my balaclava....i know NO ONE SEES the inside, but I have had some trouble. I could have cut them but it would make the sharper....

What to do ???

I made sure the middle was heated up nice and soft and applied it on top of the screws to cover them up.
