Small applicator bottles and sorted parts. This we can do.

What a repair bench needs

Decanted oils and greases with precise applicators, solvents for cleaning, and dozens of small containers of springs, screws, pads, corks and felts.

Which is two of our strengths at once

The small applicator bottle, and the sorted small parts jar. 43 dropper assemblies and 110 PET single wall jars.

The 20-410 neck is the spine of it

96 containers at that finish. A bench standardised on one small-bottle neck stocks one box of droppers and one box of caps.

Oils are easy on resins

A straight mineral oil is kind to PET and HDPE both, which makes this the least demanding decant in the library chemically.

Solvents are not

Cleaning solvents and lacquer thinners are a different question, and the shop consumables property covers both the resin chart and the container size limits by material.

Pads and corks want to stay dry and flat

A pad that has absorbed moisture is a pad that will not seat. Lined jars, and the archetype's own wide mouth so a flat pad comes out without being bent.

Springs and screws want sorting

By size, in clear jars, labelled in numbers. The same conclusion the model parts property reaches, for the same reason.

Keep a tray under everything

A bench holding small parts and open bottles spills, and a spill inside a tray is recoverable. Not something we sell and the cheapest improvement available.

Buy one size and repeat it

A repair bench ends up with thirty containers. One size, one neck, one closure, and a box of spare lids.

Glass where a solvent is involved

119 glass containers, 64 of them Boston rounds. For a cleaning solvent or a lacquer the glass end is the certain one, and for oils it is unnecessary.

This is where to spend the order

Player-facing storage is purpose-made and comes from music suppliers. The bench is general containers used well, and that is what this catalog is for.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. The instrument care shelf is 1,026 rows: 525 containers and 501 closures. 5 mL to 500 mL with a median of 118; 30 containers at 15 mL or under, 100 at 30 or under, 207 at 60 or under, 390 at 120 or under. 266 PET, 119 glass, 78 PP, 62 HDPE, and no steel or tins at all. 287 bottles, 224 jars, 12 tubs and pails, 2 tubes. 147 clear, 112 white, 82 amber, 51 blue, 45 natural, 37 black. Closures: 345 continuous thread, 43 dropper assemblies, 27 dome lids, 19 lug and twist, 16 flip top, 14 phenolic, 11 liners and sealing discs, 6 dropper tips and caps, 6 round tubs. Necks: 96 at 20-410, 59 at 24-410, 56 at 89-400, 56 at 70-400.

The archetype behind this shelf is store-small-dry: 15 to 500 mL, wide mouth, PP and PET and glass, cold, solid, chunky, scooped, with "small dry parts, wide mouth to get fingers in, clear so you can see what is inside" as its stated reason. It describes the four dry leaves well and the two lubricants not at all, and the shelf is 287 bottles to 224 jars against a wide-mouth rule.

21 CFR 172.878: "White mineral oil is a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons, essentially paraffinic and naphthenic in nature obtained from petroleum." It must meet the United States Pharmacopeia test for readily carbonizable substances, the U.S.P. requirement for sulfur compounds, and the specification published in the Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists. This section is a food additive provision; it is cited here as the published definition of the grade, not as a rule applying to instrument lubricants. law.cornell.edu

Written from 21 CFR 172.878 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Nothing here says a food-contact regulation applies to an instrument lubricant; 172.878 is cited as the published specification for white mineral oil, which is the benchmark a manufacturer can either meet or not. The other four leaves have no governing regulation and this property says so rather than borrowing one.
