    The fad, as used in French polishing, is way more technical than you need for the application of HWO. Just a cloth bunched up gets the job done.

    A plastic bin will also work fine.

    It will collapse if you block the intake, but so will a metal bin. The plastic bin will most likely be fine though. The metal bin, not so much!
