I think it could, Larry.
I also think dry ice could compromise the container strength if in direct
contact with the container wall for very long. Maybe not instantly, but over
time.
Just like vacuum sealing a 5-gal bucket itself directly, instead of a 5-gal
mylar bag inside of it; may not collapse it right away, but after awhile it
probably will...Especially if other things are stacked on top of it.
Namaste,
Linda
