Hi
I am looking for a supplier of Plastic buckets with resealable lids or plastic drums?.... i have got a few which were used for paint and have very good airtight lids but there are not very big..
I have looked every where and can't find any one who sells them in small amounts i have found some suppliers who only sell in large quantities. .

There must be some one who sells such things.. non of my local hardware shops stock such items.. Anyone know who where to find some..

Thanks

Try searching for fermenting buckets / bins.

A very good place to get plastic containers with lids for free is from school kitchens and similar.

Just go to you school or a school in the area you live and ask. The'll be hapy to get rid of them.

Also, a lot of packages of 'normal' things can be used, I've used 500ml and 1 liter plastic containers which used to contain hairgel.

Well thanks for that guys... i have spent ages looking for chemical storage /drums/barrels/kegs etc....And all i had to do was look at Home brew supplies easy when you know how....

All the chemicals i have bought come in sacks or plastic bags..You should see the state of the Plastic sack the Strontium Nitrate arrived in it looked as though it had come out of a coal mine?..

I have had the SrNO3 for a few months but i dont want to open it until i have a nice air tight container..

I was looking on home brew supply webshop only the other day.. they use Stainless steel drums which is also what i am looking for..but i didnt see the plastic drums..I have manged to locate a few Stainless steel drums on ebay.. i want one for making a new star rolling machine..

**Edit** Nova thanks for the tip but im going a bit thin on top!! and hair gel is for blokes with hair!

This place has some good containers & lucky for me is only a few miles from where I live so no postage costs

There's a large range of plastic pails with snap on lids & handles for example:

3.5ltr ?0.65 12.5ltr ?1.80 20ltr ?2.76

There are also some air and watertight containers with screw lids certified for hazardous goods. They open and close with a quarter turn, nice. Page 4 of the hazardous goods packaging described as wide neck screw top container. The 25ltr costs ?10.05.
