will the containers hold up to a warm water bath? ifyour goal is only
around 100 degrees F. i would guess the bottles would be rated for that, for
shipping and storage. (but don't rely on my guess)
can you find any markings molded into the plastic? maybe on the bottom or
on the label that tells you which plastic they used. one other good thing
about recycling is many containers are now marked.
once you know that, you can figure out if you can set the container into a
sink of warm (or maybe hot) water or not.
remember to allow for expansion. and that the containers may not be as
rigid when warmed up. don't want to grab it with the lid off and have it
more 'squeezable' so you get spillage.
consult the MSDS (material safety data sheet, probably on the supplier's web
site or the manufacturer's) for all the things i've forgotten to mention to
be careful of ... your results may vary, not responsible for loss of items,
enter at your own risk, not valid with any other offer, etc...etc... there,
have i covered my backside?
