ewetwo Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I know some of get meds in these bottle. I use the taller ones with the cap reversed. The reversed cap make them more stable. Put a few pebbles in the bottom to give them weight. They make great reusable stands to hold what you are painting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDC Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I don't recall where I picked up the habit, it was certainly from another builder's channel, but I use one to hold my discarded blades. Keeps them from flopping around loose in the trash bin that I occasionally need to rummage through for something I shouldn't have thrown away.

I'll remember this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 They’re good for wheel tubs too, if you’re into building things that need new (larger) wheel tubs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobss396 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I keep painted parts and small assemblies in mine. I'll have to try them as a paint stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I use them for paint washes. I'm too cheap to buy panel line paint. I have washes in black, various browns and green for weathering. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I have a very tall one I got at CVS years ago. I keep my toothpicks in it, drilled a 1/4" hole in the lid and use it like a shaker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 We have lots of dogs and they all get top medical care and that means pill bottles. I use them for discarded blades, loose dremel bits, teeny detail parts, mailing small parts, even started to model a steam era metal wheel.

bobss396 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I have some I use for sanding wheel wells. Wrap sand paper around them and go to town. Some are tapered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanward VonDiederichs Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Those pill bottles they really do come in handy what are yous and I pick up off the street are these bottles maybe some of you recognize them as herbal containers pot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill-e-boy Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I use them for mixing smaller batches of paint such as chassis satin black or other small area colours for use with my air brush. Toss them when done. With age the pills keep me going so I can model for longer 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 A lot of good ideas for using these. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
