Powder Containers

[waco]

Do you think it is safe to store powder and an old red Folgers plastic coffee can?

I'd be concerned that the lid might not stay on if I dropped it and I know chicken feed goes stale in one after a while. Maybe not exactly safety issues (except a spill), but those would be my main concerns. The other is how much space is wasted with round containers. I go for the square or rectangle for anything I need to store in any significant amount or where real estate is at a premium. If your shop is like most others', horizontal spaces tend to accumulate shhh....tuff and space is at a premium.

 

[waco]

Yeah. Space is always an issue….

Well, Walter, whatever you do, don't add an "O" to "Herc".

I hope his coffee is newer than that 4831

Hercules Mike. LOL.....

That's just a show off can man.......

 

[waco]

Rough crowd around here.....

These still have powder.

Hercules Mike. LOL.....

Add an "O": is it Herco or Red Dot or a combination of both?

I know you abbreviated Hercules.

 

[462]

Walter,
Perhaps my intention is not being understood, but Herco is a Hercules/Alliant powder.

Oh I gotcha. I won’t get confused because I’ve never had Herco powder.

 

[Brad]

I’m trying to figure out why Red Dot alone wasn’t adequate. How many manufacturers of it are there?

 

[462]

Oh I gotcha. I won’t get confused because I’ve never had Herco powder.

Phew, glad we got that straightened out.

 

[waco]

I just didn’t want to mix up my Alliant Redot and Hercules Redot.

 

[waco]

Not that it matters I’m sure….,,

 

[Brad]

Aaaaahhhhhh

Makes sense. I hate to ask but what happened to original containers? Storing coffee in them?

 

[462]

At least you won't be mixing up Herco and Red Dot. Well, not till you buy some Herco, anyway.

My brother and I bought 600 pounds of shot and an old 8 pound keg of RD. We had to split it up. It was what I had on hand to store it in....

 

[Brad]

Makes sense.
