You were saying you wantedto be able to remove the side of it for access.

Santoprene, on the extreme right of the chart, has an A rating. It comes as a flexible rubber tubing. Perhaps it could be used as an O-ring type seal.
See OMEGAFLEX® Santoprene Flexible Rubber Tubing it is mailorder.
Great idea, however given the box design I doubt "tubing" is the way to go. I also note that the tubing doesn't appear to be very flexible circumference -wise.

Another problem is I'm "down-under" in NZ ... variety and selection are not words that are part of this country's vocabulary

If you can find flat pieces of this stuff it would be apprciated.

I too noticed the sanopene rating, but have been preoccupied with other matters to research further.

Really appreciate your assistance with this.

Regards

William
