Nelly Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Dear All, I am just unpacking my new box from Tucker's. I asked them to send me an assortment of oxides to use with the two glazes I have chosen. Are there any oxides that must be stored in containers where the light will not get at them or am I fine to put them in small preserve with the name carefully identified?

TJR Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Nellie; You probably want something with a tight fitting lid like those gallon ice cream pails you see every where. I tend to go with plastic containers because of the risk of breakage if they fall off a shelf. I am finding now that plastic degrades over time and becomes brittle. I also like containers that are the same size for some reason, but this is not important. TJR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I like TJR use plastic containers for breakage issues-I use gallon screw top plastic jars but any tight fitting lid container will work I have had mine for many decades now.Glass is just to risky for my studio. I would hate to have a jar of 10#s of cobalt oxide break Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbrandle Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 If you want to play extra safe, just black out the preserve jars with black paint while keeping them properly labelled. I reckon that that way you don't have to spend too much on other storage containers but still get some bit of [rotection from external light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
