crazyjim Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novadose71 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Check the neighborhood, Eelco. Those little tubs are very handy for all kinds of small stuff. Edited April 18, 2011 by crazyjim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielG Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 For those of us older folk, some coffee comes in semi-clear plastic containers with a flip top lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boreham Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) 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 Edited April 21, 2011 by Boreham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRG Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Plastic Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 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...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 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. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
