I've amassed quite a collection of vials that my blood glucose test
strips come in. They're a little smaller than an old-fashioned black
plastic Kodak file canister, but are much more study and air-tight,
with an attached snap-on lid. Black plastic outside, white plastic
inside (I suspect there might be a dessicant in the white plastic).

Haven't tested them yet, re.: resistence to chemicals or solvents. But
the white plastic insides makes little things like screws, nuts, pins,
&tc. highly visible.

I'll test a few solvesnts and re-post.

I've been accumulating pill bottles over time, and they're a neat
item, too neat to just toss, but couldn't figure out what to use them
for. Too small to use for screws, etc. So just been stashing them.
Then this evening it struck me. Their tops seal, so they'd be
great for mixing up thinned latex for my stain experimenting. .Turns
out that when they're shook hard, with some liquid inside, they do leak
just the least bet, easily wiped off, and just right for mixing small
amounts. Won't have a lot of use for too many of them, but it's a
start. Beats mixing in a small cup or something, and with the cap
should keep for a few days at least.
