Keeping a 15GP22 alive

[benman94]

All practical seals leak to a degree, even the good 15GP22s are leaking to some extent right now. It's when the leaking outpaces the ability of the getter material to maintain the vacuum that you run into trouble.

I keep my CT-100 at a consistent 62 degrees with ~30% relative humidity. I reason that the less the metal and glass expand and contract, the more likely the seals are to remain more or less intact. I have no idea if it's actually doing any good. Beyond that, I'm crossing my fingers like anyone else.
