Hello all,
Does anyone know of, or have experience with canning non-food items for preparation?
Are there any standard supplies that would see a significant storage-life increase by pressure canning them? Slowing down aging, bugs, mold, and mildew is my line of thinking. I don't think most critters will try to eat through a glass jar. This of course is relying on the procedure not destroying the items.
Is there a benefit to this over vacuum sealing them?
Items that come to mind:
A large roll of medical gauze that you only used a portion of.
I've opened some older bandages and found them brittle and hope that canning would fix this.
Powdered Detergent/Soap
Various ingredients for making candles, etc.
Powdered charcoal for gunpowder, or poison.
Things along those lines.
Thank you,
David
