duckkisser Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 my brother works for a pharmaceutical company and they use these heavy grade plastic bottles. but because someone messed up they are no longer sterile so they threw them out and he brought them to me thinking i would have a use. i have 32 of the large 1000 ml bottles and over a 100 of the 125ml bottles. they each has marks indicating measurements. .anyone have any ideas for what to do with these bottles.

wdwerker Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Different levels of dilution for dyes and stains ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckkisser Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Don't use stain much natural colored woods and stone. If i do use dye it's to mix on the spot with epoxy or on the wood as I need it. Thought to use for finishes but again I mix as I need it not it large batches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 If you ever get into bulk orders of inlay material this could provide some storage of smaller quantities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Cindy Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 The small ones look like they would be perfect for your crushed stone or other inlay materials. I could see using them for flocking. I even use small containers for finishes, e.g. Danish oil, and leather dyes as well as marbling acrylic solutions. I also have small containers of West epoxy which I measure out with a dropper when I need small quantities so I don't have to waste a bunch from the big containers. You will need to find out what kind of plastic they are to make sure that they don't react or dissolve in any solution that you might want store in them.

Beechwood Chip Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 If you can find a source for shaker caps that will fit them, you could make a fancy spice rack. But my first thought, being an old hippie at heart, was to fill them with water and food coloring and put them on windowsills to catch the light.

Baggies? I was thinking loose, different sizes of each stone in different containers. It is hard to tell the neck size in the picture.

duckkisser Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I only keep like half a oz of powder at one time. Everything else is larger stones. Had thought to do what you suggested but won't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't, are suggesting I take these bottles melt them down and pour them into a mould forming a porta john?

woodbutcher74 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Someone suggested bird feeders. I would like to specify hummingbird feeders. You could turn the bases and epoxy the lids in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
