Another weapon against odors is Saran Wrap.  Stuff diffuses through
it about 1,000 times slower than through equal thicknesses of other
plastics (and it will diffuse through even 1/8" poly gasoline cans,
given time.  CU periodically gets nervous about that, although I
perhaps wrongly think their concern is excessive).

This is a bit of topic drift, but I learned the hard way not to store
a scented candle in the camping box with the Coleman plastic
silverware over the winter.  Everything I ate the next year tasted of
candle, very annoying.

Yours,
