Been looking around off-and-on for a big jar to do vapor smoothing. Spotted this one gallon jar today for less than $8, delivered! Not sure how long that price will hold - I know when @Whosa_whatsis found affordable turntables, the price spiked soon after…

Is 1-gallon big enough? Mine is 2.5-gallon: http://www.target.com/p/anchor-hocking-glass-jar-set-of-2-1-2-gallon/-/A-12705098#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=2+gallon

You do far more monster prints than I do! A one gallon milk jar seems more than big enough for my needs.

Keep in mind that the mouth is narrower than the overall diameter. It doesn’t help for your jar to be bigger than your print if it doesn’t fit through the top.

Sure the lid isn’t plastic? A couple of years ago I wondered how I ended up with more plastic in the acetone than I started with…

Mine is glass, not even a rubber gasket.

That’s kind of what amazon does. As soon as you point people to something, they spike the price and bank off of the difference between you and the manufacturer/supplier. That’s how amazon stays in business!

Same thing when I found a supplier for 17-4 PH 8mm stainless steel rod. Went from $25/6ft to over $60/6ft for a while.
