Where to find lab equipment

[idye4fun]

Hi,
I just borrowed Tom and Martine's dvd from the library and am banging my head against the wall lamenting that I hadn't watched it before I did all of the stupid stuff I've done.  Their instructions to get jugs and wide mouthed jars and mark everything with fill lines and recipes is sooooo smart.  So I've been looking for wide mouthed plastic jars (so you can put a tablespoon in and not use a funnel) with the bent straw shaped squirters and can't find them.  I looked at all of the suggested suppliers at the end of the dvd and didn't have any success.  Anyone here know where to find lab supplies cheap.  Thanks. Sharon

I posted the bottle I use here.

Not sure how cheap you're looking for...Hard goods last.

Sounds like you want a wash bottle. American Science and Surplus sells them as Squeeze 'n' Squirt bottles. Same source that mustdye uses.

Warning: the catalogs from this company are very well written and great at convincing you that you need something which, in fact, you do not need: something completely unrelated to what you're looking for. Be careful in reading the catalogs.

I went browsing last night for an hour, but I was good and didn't purchase anything.
but, such wonderful stuff!

Thanks, all.  Should have looked in the archives.  Guess I'll start saving my pennies.  I really want good ones.

I get most of my lab stuff from US Plastics. www.usplastics.com

They happened to be the cheapest to get graduated cylinders in 2004 when I graduated and needed to start getting my own stuff. They also had quick shipping since they are in Ohio and I'm in Indiana.
