Mixing containers for discharge

(1/7) > >>

ebscreen:
So we've been using the same Delitainers that we use for plastisol to mix discharge.
They're nice, but I'm wondering if there is something better. We can usually only
get 2-3 uses out of them before they get scratched up and dingy.

I know that metals and discharge are a no no, but I'm wondering if some nice stainless
mixing containers would be attacked in the lifetime of a discharge ink, 4-6 hours or so.
I'd really like to just have a set of ten or so that are easily cleaned and reusable forever.

DanK:
I don't know about metal, but how about some sort of glass container?

ebscreen:
I was wondering that as well. Nice Pyrex mixing containers. I personally don't get
along very well with glass though. I've run through it, had sheets of it dropped on my head,
got it in my eyeball, etc.

Supposedly 316 stainless is hard to beat for corrosion resistance. I'd hate to find out though.

DanK:
Yeah, I would be pretty nervous about trying it in metal.  I hear you about the glass, however, Pyrex is probably the way to go, that stuff is pretty tough.  Mason jars come to mind too, but they're a bit more fragile than Pyrex and whatnot...

ZooCity:
Black vapor locks perhaps?  Also, us plastic makes a super cheap but sturdy set of clear jars. They aren't vapor tight but seal up pretty good.
