I mix a lot of the dyes annd stains I use for refurbishing and even when I am doing new pieces since frequently I have to do color matching. I have been using mason Jars but I realy don't like haqving all of that glass in the shop. So tell me, what do you guys use ?
 
The dogs' treats come in a plastic jar that holds just over a pint. I keep them for stains, dyes, etc. They work very well, except for lacquers. (DAMHIKT)
 
I use and store small amounts of dyes, so I use little 2 ounce plastic bottles from the dollar store or the travel supplies section of the drugstore.
 
Often we buy small water bottles, being a container hoard, I save everything, and have put stains and such in them as it is clear and easy to see the contents. However, I have found that some of the stains collapse the sides of the bottles over long periods of time (the stain is fine but the bottle looks worried). I guess that is why Water has an expiration date.
