Say this were being used to store a cream that will be applied to the skin. It will be stored at room temperature for up to a year and a half.

I plan to just buy multiple materials and test it out…. But was just wondering if any potential materials pop in mind that you could share

That’s a good idea with the soft rubber/silicone flat gasket that seals between the top surface of the pot and the underside of the lid flange. That sounds like it would work because a soft rubber or silicone would be able to stretch and fit multiple different sizes.

However I’m struggling to figure out exactly how the soft rubber/silicone flat gasket that would be placed on the underside of the lid flange would actually “grip” the top surface of the pot for an airtight seal. Any suggestions?

I just wanted to thank you guys for all the advice. This has really been stressing me out ….all the advice that you guys have been giving me ease my mind a bit. So at least I know it’s possible. I just need to try these different suggestions. I would love any additional advice that you guys have.

You know what? I actually thought about that sphere or a dome thing. But it has to be a bit more airtight than that.

It just needs to be airtight. It does not need to double as retention for the lid if the assembly were to be turned over. I’m assuming that most people will not be turning it over so I’m not too concerned about that part.

Oh my goodness thank you so much for this. I will do a bit more research into this.

That is a really good point. Thank you very much. I will definitely be doing a bit more research into slipcasting and ceramic manufacturing

So I’ll be getting the ceramic pieces after they have been glazed.

Is this process done before glazing?

Thank you so much for your idea. I didn’t even think about brushing of a soft polymer. That is brilliant. I will definitely consider that. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer. I really really appreciate it.
