I use them to store wood dust. Every time I mill a new species of
wood I collect the shavings/dust and save a small bottle full to mix
with glue and use as filler if/when/as required.

Glad I read your post before repeating what you said..

I used to use the zip lock bags from pen kits, but pill bottles are less awkward
and stack well..
