    They are selling the stainless water bottles with the screw top lid now pretty cheap. Trying to get people to go Green with the water bottles. That would make a nice powder canister, just dont drink from it and mark it well.

    When I was a kid, I used to get tons of these from my Grandpa, he worked in the dept that devloped the film from the old surveillance cameras in banks and such. I dont have any nowadays, just brings up memories

    I've used the old, brown, plastic vitamin bottles for years. The plastic never degrades IME and are easy to label.

    That's what I use. Tylenol and Advil bottles come in a variety of sizes.
