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.

Re: A pretty good idea.
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...

Re: A pretty good idea.
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

Re: At-a-boy, Paul!!
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.
