FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the seed tin?
The tin measures 19.5cm in length, 12.5cm in depth (front to back), and 7.5cm in height, including the lid.
Is this tin suitable for storing anything other than seeds?
Yes, it is suitable for storing other dry goods such as small craft supplies, buttons, or other small, non-perishable items, as long as they are dry.
Can I wash the seed tin in a dishwasher?
No, the tin should never be submerged in water or placed in a dishwasher. It must be wiped clean only and dried immediately.
What material is the seed tin made from?
The tin is made from food-safe tinplate.
Will the floral design fade?
The design is printed on the tinplate. With proper care (wipe clean only, dry immediately), the design should remain vibrant for a considerable time.
Does the tin have compartments inside?
No, the tin is a single open compartment inside, designed to hold seed packets directly.
Is the lid fully airtight?
The lid is designed to have a tight seal to protect contents from dust and general environmental factors, but it is not a hermetic seal. It is ideal for protecting dry seeds.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not seal tightly.
Ensure the rim of the tin and the inside of the lid are clean and free from debris. Check for any dents along the rim that might be preventing a flush fit. Gently adjust the lid if necessary.
Tin appears to have moisture inside.
This can occur if the tin was exposed to high humidity or if recently cleaned and not dried properly. Ensure seeds stored are completely dry before placing them inside. Air out the tin completely and dry thoroughly before re-storage.
Surface discoloration or rust spots.
This may occur if the tin has been exposed to prolonged moisture or if cleaning instructions were not followed. Wipe the affected area gently with a damp cloth and dry immediately. For minor spots, a very gentle polish with a soft cloth might help, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
