Here is my US Plastics order (and my favorite coffee mug).
Total cost including shipping: $9.88
Mar 16, 2011 at 5:01 pm #1709888perfect.
too cool for school.
exactly what I need.
I also get my tyvek clothes there. Super cheap and lasts a long time.
Mar 16, 2011 at 6:01 pm #1709914Angelo, do you have planned uses for all those containers, or just stocking up in case you find a need? I'm curious in what folks use the larger 10ml and 20ml bottles for.
Mar 16, 2011 at 6:39 pm #1709933I don't have a planned use for all of them. They were so cheap I just stocked up on them.

I'll probably pick up a few of these also. I need to order a few other things anyway. Have any of you guys used the flip-cap bottles for dispensing thicker liquids like toothpaste or sunscreen?
BTW, the Tyvek clothes are awesome. I'm working on a UL Tyvek leisure suit complete with butterfly collar, otherwise I'd be all over these!
Mar 19, 2011 at 11:21 am #1711195I use the small flip cap containers for hydropel, should work fine for sunscreen (although I've had good luck w/ the dropper style bottles for sunscreen and DEET)
Mar 19, 2011 at 11:43 am #1711205Mike, What do they call these plastic tubes? All I found was the thicker walled clear PVC, which is expensive.
OK I found it: (Tenite Butyrate tubing) So, what wall thickness did you get for the rod tubes 1/32" or 1/16" I'd guess 1/32" as 1/16" wall is pretty beefy?
Mar 19, 2011 at 1:14 pm #17112371/32" is correct, you wouldn't want to run over your pack rod & case w/ a station wagon, but the stuff is seems to be plenty stout for trail use :)
