5. Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior of the case with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Ensure the case is completely dry before storage.
5.2. Cleaning the Interior Foam
The foam inserts can be gently vacuumed to remove dust and debris. For spills or stains, spot clean with a small amount of mild detergent and water, then allow to air dry completely before returning to the case.
5.3. Maintaining Water and Dust Resistance
Periodically inspect the rubber gasket around the lid for any signs of wear or damage. A clean, intact gasket is crucial for maintaining the case's water and dust resistance. Replace if necessary.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1. Latches Not Closing Properly
Ensure that no items are obstructing the lid from closing completely. Check the latches for any debris or damage. Apply gentle, even pressure when closing.
6.2. Foam Not Fitting Equipment Snugly
Re-evaluate the foam cutouts. If the fit is too loose, consider adding small pieces of foam to fill gaps or re-cutting a new section if available. For a tighter fit, ensure the equipment is pressed firmly into the custom-cut cavities.
