A pretty good idea.

[Æ]

I sometimes need a small disposable container to mix up epoxy, dispense glue, clean paint brushes or whatever. I've tried using party cups and such, but solvents usually cause the plastic to melt. Then I got the idea to recycle aluminum cans. Cut the lid off, then rinse out and dry the can and you have a wonderful one-use container.

Re: A pretty good idea.

we use to grind it on cement floor to get the top off and use it as a cup ... we do not cut it off because of the sharf edge.... and that how people still doing it now in many other parts of the world.... I almost forget about this aluminum cup until you bring it up..

Coke cans have a warmer tone...
Pepsi cans are more analytical...
Mountain Dew are a little edgy...

I've been doing this for years to hold my kitchen cooking grease drippings. When full, (and solidified) you just throw it away and cut the top off of a new one...

You should have hyphenated "one use" (one-use). Ha ha, I've been dying to catch you in a spelling or grammar error just for the heck of it.:p

Dude, NO SHARP EDGES! My can opener cuts cleanly and since aluminum is so soft, it leaves a very smooth cut. Really.

Coca Cola went to town,
Pepsi Cola shot him down.
Dr. Pepper fixed him up.
Now they all drink 7up!

Actually I should have said, "spelling or grammar of punctuation error". I hope Alan takes my comment with a big dose of humor since he's the resident King at catching the rest of us making errors.

I don't mind being corrected one bit, even if by Darryl of all people!
I value learning far above petty emotionality.
