Hello. I'm planning to order a container for storing alcohol fuel from U.S. Plastics. I'd like to order some other containers from them since the shipping is basically a flat rate. I find the site a bit overwhelming, and I'd like to learn which bottles people use to repackage sunscreen, soap, etc. Or perhaps anything else that people find useful.

Thanks, Chad. Have you found the dropper bottles to be good for sun screen? I currently use a bottle with a flip opening that I bought at REI.

This probably isn't very smart of me, considering I live in the desert, but I don't use sunscreen. I imagine they would work, if the sunscreen is really thick, you could probably make the dropper hole bigger.

The dropper bottles work great for fluids. For lotions, gel toothpastes, etc, not so well. I've drilled out dropper portion to make them work better, but I prefer to order 3 ml or 5 ml lip balm containers off of eBay. These typically come from Hong Kong. Shipping is less, and they're easier to use.
