    Default Storin Pen Bushes

    I have been storing my pen bushes in the plastic bags that the kits come in and it has been a bit untidy to say the least.

    I recently went to the doctor and she gave me some specimen jars for urine and I thought they would make excellent storage containers for my pen bushes.

    All I have to do is get a few more.

    Barry I know you might be getting these free but the cost of Dr's visits must be quite high and thats just the travel for you.

    I reckon a tube style might be less cumbersome bit like the blood viles except they are pyrex a plasitc one would be the way to go.

    How about condute sealed at one end lid made for the other

    At the moment I have reached the Medicare Safety Net so a visit to the doctor is only costing me about a $1.50 and i only make appointments for the day i go to town anyway

    I reckon a tube style might be less cumbersome bit like the blood viles except they are pyrex a plasitc one would be the way to go.

    I would have to con the pathology into giving them to me and the trouble is some of them have some stuff in them

    How about condute sealed at one end lid made for the other

    That sounds like too much work and i am allergic to work and if I need more of them I will go to the chemist and buy them, they shouldn't be that expensive.and I like the see through appearance
    Thanks for all the advice anyway.

    Hmm, being a nurse I can get hold of quite a few of those. The faecal containers might be the way to go however I reckon wheelinround has nailed it. Might investigate and report back findings

    I just use one of those $10 clear plastic storage trays from bunnings. They have around 10-12 sections and I write with permanent marker which bush is which on top of the see through lid. If you don't know what I'm talking about they are kind of like what you might get a cheap tackle set in at Kmart. I will post a picture when I'm home.

    I use a small parts cabinet with drawers. This allows me to have the bushings, pen mill sleeves and closed end mandrel all together. Each drawer is labeled with the pen kit.

    You mean we're supposed to keep all the different bushes separate? Maybe that's my problem

    I go the compartment box as well I'm afraid, but still keep the packets with the names on them in there as well, as a bit of a double check.

    Thought of another container but hard to get these days Film canisters.

    The other better one would be plastic bottle blanks they come with screw top lids

    These would be another possibility, they are available in a few different sizes and don't cost much.
