Acetone and similar items are wonderful, but whomever designed, and any person thereafter that insists on using those 1 gallon cans should be forced to fill their whiskey glass from that very type of can and the can is required to be full for every pour.
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
-
I take it there was a slight accident? :)
-
When those things are full I have found no way to pour from them without it spilling everywhere.
-
Ya gotta hold the can horizontally with the spout up on top.
-
But then I would have nothing to rant about.
-
I forgot to add, sqzeeze the can real hard in the middle:)

Amen to that. Roy's got it right, but until you get some out of the full can, it's a splash fest.
Pour some out into a clean 5gal bucket first. Or ditch the can and get some good clean non toxic solvent.

Seriously though, this is a good solvent and if things start to go south, you can fortify your resolve with a belt :bigsmyl:
-
I dont use any toxic stuff anymore, for clear coat I use polyurethane water based, some paint thinner or denatured alcohol. Thats about it. Any other spray bombs I use outside on a warm day.
-
I agree!! I had started trying to make a pour spout to fit my can but my A.D.D kicked in and I got side tracked and.........
-
Maybe take your lid and solder a piece of copper pipe in it for a spout.
-
Roy’s right :banghead:
Pour with the opening at the top. This is also true for plastic oil jugs ;)
-
Lonnie, if you have a auto body supply store close to you they will have plastic spouts that screw on gallon cans.
-
Can't remember where I seen them, but it was a little metal spout maybe an inch long with a spring loaded plunger button that opened the spout to pour. It was soldered or gas welded onto the 1 inch metal cap. Worked very well.
Guess you could call it child proof, Lonnie.
LOL
-
LOL, I am getting to the point I'll take all the help I can get. :archer:
-
Get a turkey baster to transfer smaller amounts to smaller containers for immediate use.
-
What I do is buy 1 gallon cans of what I want from home depot, then transfer some into a quart metal can with a funnel.
That eliminates the large gallon can handling all the time.

That's funny, I was doing just that and ended up wearing or swimming in about a half a cup or more. :goldtooth:

Get the grandkids to do it next time:)

I buy solvents(alcohol, acetone, paint thinner) is quart sizes, not that they are any easier to open or pour but I don't like having that much of the solvents around. The quarts of each that I have are at least half full and it's been years since I bought any.
-
I use a lot of denatured alcohol and I can get a gallon of it for the same price some vendors want for a quart.
-
Fear not Fellow Bowyer... Your days of suffering and spilled acetone are over... :goldtooth:
Get a funnel and pour your solvents in a dish detergent bottle... When you need some just squirt a little out with no waste or spillage...
** Warning ** All plastic bottles are not compatible with the solvent and will melt... Pour a about an inch or so of solvent in the bottle and wait about a week and inspect the bottle... I found that a Joy Bottle works for acetone... But you may want to test it anyway...
I use different shaped bottles for different solvents so that there is no confusion or mistakes made using the wrong solvent...
Touching a rag up to the opening of a gallon jug slowly contaminates the solvent inside every time you use it...

Ya must do a lot of dishes, Shreddy:)

My dog will do em' for ya.
Lmao. Never seen a dog that wouldn’t lick a plate clean. My old lab used to put one foot on the plate to keep it from sliding so he could get it spit shined.
-
My dog always helps with the dishes. (https://uploads.tapatalk-9cdn.com/20190314/dfc05e2eb7fabbcb593f414a80e25cac.jpg)

Lonnie, I been thinking here.
And no smart a$$ comments boys...
You can make your own pour spout.
Take a lid from an old can, drill a hole in it and solder a 1/4" or 3/8th" soft copper tube in it, long as ya want.
Then make a rubber seal for it, or remove the seal in it and affix the tube, then put the seal back in.

Dog gone it Roy you are getting old. I done told ,em that bout middle of the first page

I don’t know if I’d want to use an electric pump with acetone? Also, a lot of the rubber o-rings used in pumps are not conducive with acetone.
We get acetone by the 55gal drum at my work. We use pour spouts on the drums because the seals in hand pumps don’t last long.
-
Maybe just a primer bulb with a check valve like those used for boat motors?
-
I kin just see Lonnie pumping the primer bulb now:)

Go to Harbour Freight and buy a self siphoning tool. It a plastic tube with a brass fixture on the end that has a marble in it. To use simply place the gallon above the vessel that you want the liquid to go into. Place the brass end into the gallon and shake the tube. The siphoning action will happen 9nits own. I must caution you that it is up to you to stop the siphon before the receiving vessel fills up.
-
Oh boy......... now Lonnie will have a shaker-weight
:laughing:
-
He will probably tie himself up..
LOL
