squeeze bottle for solvents

Three or four years ago I cleaned out a used dishwashing detergent bottle from the kitchem and put some lacquer thinner in it. I was concerned it would warp or melt but I'm still using it with no damage. It makes it easier than opening the can and pouring some out, there's no mess but you can't get a drop or two. There's also been no odor or evaporation assumimg I remember to snap the cap closed. I now have added another one for mineral spirits and one for windex. 

I use the old style ketchup and mustard squeeze bottles. Walmart has them for .99 cents a piece. They are clear in color and I mark them with a black sharpie pen. I have the same four I purchased 3 years ago. Good luck

A bit small but flex-i-file makes a 1/2 oz i drop applicator bottle for solvents and glues.

Might look into laboratory supplies to, a lot of plastics used there are chemical/solvent resistant.  

Check out this link of plastic chemical resistances,

Try here - everything you ever wanted. PET and PETG are the better plastics for solvents. Can get flip top dispenser spouts for them too.

Hobby lobby sells bottles with needle tips in their model section for solvents like acetone, lacquer thinners, styrene cements, That may be a start. You can also search Amazon and they have that same things there too. Let us know what you find.

I have some of clear ketchup style but mine don't seal well enough for acetone. 

Amazon is certainly the easy choice. I have to decide between 2 oz and 4 oz bottles. Acetone evaporates so fast. But I wonder about knocking over the smaller bottles more.

Maybe get the larger and find something to take up space. Small marbles, BB's, clean pebbles...

I guess you are trying to keep the level as high to the rim as possible?

Modelpaintsol.com is a great website that sells lots of repurposed lab equipment for use in painting.  He also sells Mission Models paints and high-end airbrushes.  I bought some MM paints and a few other odds and ends from him recently and was pleased with the speed of service and personalized touch.  He threw in a bag of pipettes to my order, which was nice.  Here's a link to some of the bottles he sells.  I bought the sample pack and have been pleased with them.

Thanks that looks great!

Just got my order of medium and large bottles, and he threw in a sample bag of bottles. This was certainly nice, but if he is trying it as a marketing ploy, I would think he should add something different than was purchased. But still, it's a nice gesture. 

Now to see how well they seal and stop evaporation. 

Gift horse anyone?

Can anyone recommend small (2 to 4 oz) squeeze or dropper bottles that will work with acetone, lacquer thinner, and denatured alcohol? Or at least what plastic works? Acetone evaporates so fast, I want something that really seals tight. I have tried deciphering plastic types, but it makes my head hurt. 

 

You can try this place too.

I used 2 empty Testors acrylic thinner bottles I put lacquer thinner in one and mineral sprites in the other one, and put acrylic thinner in a clear catsup squeeze bottle. Makes putting thinner in the cup on my Iwata Neo a lot easier.                    ACESES5
