Bottle Holder

Did you ever tip a bottle full of Micro Set?  I did it twice before learning the lesson.

Now I use the cap of a spray can.

   

Efficient and free

Where was this about 2 weeks ago? I lost about a third of the bottle.

Guy, that is a fabulous idea and can be used for other small bottles (Like paint).
Can you tell how this solvent compares to the Champ version from years ago?  I am using Walters but I preferred the old Champ. Unfortunately the solvent outlasted the plastic bottle it came in.

Really neat idea. works for a lot of small things.

I can’t tell because Microscale products are the only ones I have tried so far.  I know Vallejo makes Decal Fix and Decal Medium which seem to be very good according to reviews.  I like Vallejo paints, particularly the Model Air series for airbrushing.  So I will give a try at those decal solutions in a near future.

Guy, Champ in no longer in business, that's why I was wondering how it compared. I have enough Walther's to go to the end of my life so I will continue using what I have. Thanks.

I made a bottle holder from a scrap of foam, maybe 6" square. I made holes in it that were a tight fit for the containers -- small bottles and 35mm film canisters (that's how old it is) .
I really needed one for my jar of resin flux. That spilled on some pliers and I can't get them open.

The film canisters usually hold wet water (PollyS thinner) and soapier water for brush cleaner.
For friendly liquid I now use the bottles from eyedrops that give one drop at a time. I've got loads of those.

Hello Guy,

that is a effective solution for an old problem.

That's a clever idea. Here I've been drilling holes into blocks of wood to do the same thing.
