Noticed there was no hints and tips section... For some simple tips
If I misplaced this please move it.
I made this years ago.. I hate it when I have a full can, or just can't hit the mark from a gallon can. Many of the new cans are plastic tops, so this won't work. But I transfer stuff to the old cans using a funnel so I can continue to use this. Also it seems that Acetone still comes in a metal top.
I poked a hole in the top, silver soldered a copper piece on and now have a nice pour spout. I still put the spout up top when pouring, so the air gets in. But I never miss my mark. Used a piece of gasket material and some silicone to attach the casket to the bottom.. used to use cork but it would expand and contract.. and fall out.
