maybe try to melt wax around the edges of the pipe end? heat with a hair dryer till warm, then smother it on so it sinks in. Or try what K said and put a thick ring of caulk around the edge after its screwed on, then you can just cut it off with a knife.

Sucking the air out and creating a vacuum concerns me, as that would be creating a suction that will always be trying to draw moisture in. It may compromise your seal, and once the seal is compromised, if there is water around it'll suck it in like a straw.
How about displacing the air with Argon before you cap it?

Good idea. Going to see if I can put something over the top.

Pardon the terminology or lack thereof. Is there not a way to place threads on the inside of a cap and on the PVC tube? This way the threads are facing down and water will need to go back up the threads to get in.. and then to halt that place a bead of silicon around the base of the cap.
This would allow you to keep it buried and still have access for multiple times.
And if you made a 'vacuum' in the cache I would think it would draw water in. Place a bicycle tire valve on it and put pressure into the container. And or you can add ORings.
Pictures make it easier for me to contemplate possibilities, this is what I meant when I stated PVC Caps

Pressure would not get rid of the moisture in the air, vacuum would remove at least some of it. But after seeing the other 3 caches with zero moisture in them, I don't think it is from condensation. The 2 with water must not have been sealed very good.

Cool, going to see if they make them big enough. Thanks

4 inch is the biggest I can find so far.

Not happy about the price but thank you for the further bit of information Sniper-T.

Wow, way more expensive that I thought it would be. But thanks
