The shelf, and what is missing
Updated
On this page11
What is here
1,217 rows: 698 containers and 519 closures. 5 mL to 9,464 mL with a median of 118.
By material
390 PET, 130 glass, 99 HDPE, 78 PP and 1 LDPE. The glass is the part that serves alcohol inks and solvent-borne colorants.
By format
459 bottles, 224 jars, 12 tubs and pails, 2 tubes and 1 jug. A bottle shelf with a decent jar shelf attached.
By size
100 containers at 30 mL or under, 390 at 120 or under and 662 at a pint or under. The small end is real and it is a tenth of the shelf.
The families that matter
110 PET single wall jars, 76 PET Boston rounds, 71 glass Boston rounds, 65 PET packers, 48 PET imperial bullet cosmos, 26 PP single wall jars and 24 glass straight sided jars.
The glass Boston round is the colorant bottle
71 of them, in the small sizes, taking a dropper assembly, and inert against an alcohol ink. For pigment this is the answer.
The single wall jar is the dry store
110 in PET and 26 in PP. Small, clear, wide enough for tweezers, and stackable, which is what an inclusion collection needs.
What is missing, said plainly
Compartment boxes, plug-stoppered vials and small lidded trays. Those are the formats this craft actually uses for glitter and inclusions and none of them is on this shelf.
And the two tubes
Which is not a tube offering. A craft that stores small quantities in tubes has two options here, and pointing that out is more useful than listing the jars again.
How to shop it
Colorant or dry store first. For colorants, carrier then glass. For dry stores, the smallest clear jar that a hand can get into, bought in quantity so the collection matches.
