Storage containers

[crazyjim]

Anybody have a baby out there? Baby food comes in little plastic tubs with snap on lids. I've using them to store engines, wheels/tires, etc. They work great.

If you have a baby and aren't saving the little tubs, perhaps you'd consider saving them and sending them to me. I'll be happy to reimburse your postage costs.

Something like these Jim. My "babies" are 6 and 14 now so I'm starting to run low on the containers. The others in the pic are from the 1/87 Malibu brand vehicles, these work well also.

Check the neighborhood, Eelco. Those little tubs are very handy for all kinds of small stuff.

For those of us older folk, some coffee comes in semi-clear plastic containers with a flip top lid.

If not walmart sells clear plastic shoe containers for a buck over by all the other storage stuff. As well as kroger and the dallar tree.

Some of the more expensive, soft dog and cat food (Fancy Feast for example)come in handy little plastic containers with snap on lids.

Great idea recycling these containers..

I used these plastic Tubs from our local takeaway.. they are transparent.. about 6"x 8" 2"tall stackable..

I purchase quality ice cream for My wife.. and use the tub... idea for for bodies or WIP...storage

similar size to the above but 3" tall with rounded ends.. stackable.

and for larger items..I use these... My local shop keeps them for me..I usually get about 5 a week...

handy for full 1;1 car resto stuff also..(my other interest.) these are 8"x 8" and 4 1/2 deep transparent and with lids

I use a lot of my wife's Lock and Lock containers. All different sizes and a secure locking lid.

Just don't tell her, she's always losing those darn things.

[DanielG]

Mine can't lose enough, I am always having to wash the bleeping things!

Well for my fellow hobby enthusiasts, and may I say only for you, I will begin the extracting of many tubs of chilled dairy dessert one spoonful at a time .

I am only doing this for you......

I use all of these things, and the screw-top containers for keeping bleach for stripping chrome in.

A tip for storing bleach: make sure you use a jar with a plastic lid. The metal lids will corrode.
