Members LarryB Posted April 13, 2008 Members Report Posted April 13, 2008 I have a small box of baby jars. I use them to store my mixed dyes and also use them on the desk when I am painting or dyeing something. Great to have around. Quote www.larrysleatherwork.com
Members gunfighter48 Posted April 13, 2008 Members Report Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) I've been using Propel Fitness Water plastic bottles with the twist top nipple. They are great for the alcohol dyes and the twist top nipple allows you to dispense small amounts. Once the nipple is closed they are spill proof. The dyes don't stick to the plastic and wipe clean with a paper towel. Just be sure you remove the label from the bottle so you don't grab one thinking it's your drink bottle!!! Haven't done it yet but came close a couple of times! John Edited April 13, 2008 by gunfighter48 Quote gunfighter48 A 45 may not expand but it will never be smaller than .45!! NRA Member PSLAC Member
David Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 I've been using the plastic butter tubs that are everywhere today. I store dye mixes in them and they are cleanable and you can recycle them when they get to funky to clean David Theobald http://theobaldleather.com Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted April 14, 2008 Moderator Report Posted April 14, 2008 My dad nailed a row of baby food jar lids to a board that he nailed under a shelf above the bench. He stored hardware in the jars, and we just screwed/unscrewed the jars as needed. The clear glass made it easy to see what was inside, so there was no need for labels. I've done the same thing with clear peanut butter jars. The pb jars are bigger and my kids eat a lot of it, so I always have replacements.

Members Kani Posted May 19, 2008 Members Report Posted May 19, 2008 I would love to have them as well. When you get more than you need again. Thanks Quote
