Well I must admit I think I will just enjoy playing around with this
and see where it takes me. Thanks for the thoughts though. The group
has been great...

Well my thought was to add some mass to the containers to reduce the
actual capacity inside. Maybe just some plain old sheets of acrylic.
The benefit with these containers is that I do not have to worry about
leaks. I also do not have to try and make all the containers. For now
anyway. I also think these containers will be very strong and with the
air tight lids to them they will store the chemistry very well. That
is my hope anyway.

Well I look forward to reading your new site soon. If there is any way
I can help then please let me know.
