Good uses for old tamiya glue bottles

[durangod]

I washed the old jar out with alchohol then soap n water then thinner, soap n water again.

From time to time i do need small bottles for the shop for leftover liquids in small amounts. I dont want to contaminate another liquid or mix chemicals in case there is still glue residue in the jar. So i am considering how i can repurpose the jars.

Ideas?

My best idea would be to sniff it and if it smells clean you are good.

That " glue " is all volatile solvent .
1/2 acetone , 1/2 butyl acetate .
No need for using paint thinner , that actually just adds something you need to remove .
Acetone and butyl acetate are both miscible in water so washing the bottle with hot water is all that's needed .
Those 2 solvents will evaporate completely all on their own too . No washing needed .

So basically just leave the lid off........hehe. Pantherman

Yeah , but there will probably be some styrene contaminant in there from the brush that will not evaporate and remain .
