How long can I keep my housing sealed without affecting the o-rings?

20 June 2012 - 12:10 PM

  Hey!

  OK, I'm going to be doing some local diving this weekend and the lake   we're heading to is remote to say the least (2-3 hours of 4x4ing down   the treacherous trails).  Since services will be non-existent out there,   I want to keep things as simple as possible with my Rebel XTi / Ikelite   setup.  
  
  Ideally, I want to get everything ready in the comfort and cleanliness   of my home, seal up the rig, and keep it sealed until we get back.  That   would mean 36 hours or so of full-time squeeze on the o-rings.  I know   not to keep the rings compressed for long-term storage but I don't know   what 'long-term' is defined as.
  
  Any thoughts?
