Mixing containers for discharge
squeegee:
We've been using these, I like them because the screw lids seal well. We use them for WB mixes and discharge.

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

My experience is that the today's Stainless steel itself is fine, it's the damn inclusions in the cheap stuff that corrode and even disappear when the right stuff comes in contact.
I have ended up with pinholes in thermos bottles and measuring cups.

What you putting in your Thermos Andy?
One hell of a cup of coffee.
I think I'll get a couple and dump some ink in them and let them sit overnight then print
some rags just to be sure. I've seen some gnarly stuff in stainless.

I was wondering the same thing. Thought my morning brew was tough but it ain't burning holes through the thermos.
These are the containers I just got in, cheaper than the similar ones I got before and very nice for the price.

We only have a couple of quarts of textile wb in the house right now but a pretty big spread of TW flatstock inks and I like the black vapor locks for those best.
Frog:
The thermos was just regular foods and beverages over time, rusting through the contaminated speck.
The measuring cup was an almost instant fail with a diluted peroxide mixture, once again, just the tiny impurity went bye bye, (only visible when held to a light)
The good thing about the measuring cup was the damage was made instantly apparent by the subsequent leak. The thermos merely lost efficiency and started to stink as the former vacuum chamber was breached and took on various liquids.
The bottom line, is that some crappy stainless can contain impurities that don't share its resistance to corrosion.
