Product Information
Full details
The Red Gorilla Micro Flexible Tub is an ideal storage solution for hobbyists, homeowners, and gardeners who need a compact, 370ml vessel for organizing small items. Its primary benefit is its highly durable yet flexible construction, which withstands rough handling while remaining safe for food-grade applications. A key caveat is its small size, which limits it to storing small components, crafting supplies, or single servings rather than bulk storage tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tub requires no formal setup; it is ready to use immediately upon arrival. It is compatible with a wide range of environments, from the freezer to the garden shed. To maintain the life of the tub, wash it with warm, soapy water after use. While the material is tough, avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the finish over time. If used for food, ensure you have washed it thoroughly after any non-food applications to prevent cross-contamination.
