I too have recently read of the dangers of chemical residue being present in film containers.
Even after washing thoroughly!
Nov 29, 2008 at 4:21 pm #1461116i once packed one full of airsoft BB's and put a firecracker in the middle, poked a hole in the top for a fuse and glued the top on with pvc cement. it blew up pretty nice with a good 6 foot radius.
