   It would be the same stuff as weather stripping. Some good sources in Fine Home Building mag or try a google search using the term weather stripping

   If you think/believe that your wife is now in a different world, then you might find that prayer is a very good way to stay in touch. Speaking from my own experience...

   Thanks.. I do every night.. BUT she was mad at me fer something I did when she died..  Not really.. She was my sweetheart.. We met in Kindergarden!  I slep t on the blanket next to her... She slept with her dress over her head,, God I loved that woman!

   NO she will NOT hate me for sayin' that,,  I hope...

   Don't forget that children sometimes climb into chests.  So you either have to keep it locked, or make it so it is not self latching so the lid can open from the inside with a push.

   Excellent point, Wayne.  IIRC, back in the mid-1990's or so, Lane made a retrofit kit available to anyone and everyone who had a Lane chest.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)Another proud member of the  "I Rocked With ToolDoc Club" .... :>)

   Foot, look up Zero Weatherstripping Corp
   It's called bronze weather strip (or seal) Stein.
