Pill Bottles

[TNT]

I use them upside down and use double sided sticky tape to hold pieces on to spray, and one has old blades.

I needed a pill bottle this morning, so I grabbed on of my wife's bottles. I scarfed down all of the pills and now I can't see anything...?RRR

I came close to getting busted at pain management... another pain medication showed up in my 6-month required whiz test. Just a trace amount of Tramadol as opposed to my regular Oxy. I had some older meds on top of my dresser and took one in the middle of the night with the lights out.

They don't play with that stuff. I know a few that lost their scripts for weed another for the wrong meds.

I cleaned out everything after that event. I'm also on the NY State MM program, so I can't even smoke a little weed. I go the other way whenever I even smell it.

I fill mine half full with lead pellets and put a strip of masking tape on the top (actually the bottom of bottle) where the indentation is for a puddle of super glue.  The next day I strip it off and replace with another strip of tape.  I also use it as a resting place for my tooth pick that I often use for applying ca glue.  

Very Clever.

Thanks to The V.A. and my health issues, I now get 3 or 4 empty pill bottles a month. This Super Glue idea is Great!

Back in the day we came up with all sorts of ways to use the 35mm film canisters.  Now we are doing the same with pill bottles.  

Not a criticism of anybody.  Just an observation.

I have some I use for sanding wheel wells. Wrap sand paper around them and go to town. Some are tapered.

On an old forum that many of us were part of, {a "short track" forum}, the "owner" posted a building tip about using pill bottles with sandpaper wrapped around them to "finish" the wheelwells after the rough cut of opening them up.  Just use it like a sanding drum by twisting it back and forth until you have your wheelwell  perfectly contoured.   As BOB related to

All of us old folks have plenty of these around, Lol. I use mine for storing toothpicks, q-tips, cat litter, flocking....

Good for soaking nozzles in from spray cans.

 

Do these pill bottles actually hold up to lacquer thinner???... I don't think so.. I could be wrong....??

cat litter

You either buy your meds in huge quantities or you have a 1/25th scale cat ?

I keep parts in mine, the double caps (child proof) will hold 2 bottles with one cap, so I can put like items together. ie chassis screws and hood springs

Yes, to both. His name is Bob.

I kept some cat litter in a pill bottle, to use for diorama/vignette builds to simulate gravel.

They work so well for tubbing a rear.  Just scuff so paint sticks better.
