Thanks, that's exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for. I don't
even know if I need a pump, maybe just a floorstanding bin or wash
basin and a stiff brush. Mainly it needs a lid to keep the stuff from
evaporating in between uses.

Maybe something used will show up on the wantadvertiser...

I have one of the $69 ones. They're fine except that the pump
won't stand up to aggressive petroleum solvents, ie carb cleaner
and kerosene. If you use Simple Green or something like that,
it should last a long time. But if you use aggressive petroleum
solvents, you'll need a better pump.
