imagine_studios Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I've read through many of the GST discussions and have seen where people store their excess in glass jars, but has anyone tried anything else? It comes in a metal can, so it seems like I could store it in a metal container. I'm looking to dip Muskie lures upwards of 11" in length, which makes it a little tricky to find something glass to accommodate that. I've been on the prowl for some sort of glass vase, but haven't had any success finding something tall enough yet. My wife has agreed to donate a glass casserole dish if I can't come up with anything, but it seems like it would be easier to work with if I could stay vertical with my container. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone stored it in anything but glass? Thanks Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 The only jars I can think of are the large pickle jars .( The concession stand lg jars)..That should give you plenty of length ..You can get them at Walmart..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagine_studios Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Thanks, that sounds like a good idea. Do you know if the container has to be glass? Jason Edited November 5, 2014 by imagine_studios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I would probably stick with glass..that stuff is solvent based ..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wchilton Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 try an eBay search for "glass pasta jar". I saw one that's over 12" tall. The thing you'll have to watch out for is the seal. Rubber seals may not be enough with the solvent in GST. If you can find a jar that uses a flat rubber seal (not molded) you could replace the seal with one made out of a solvent-resistant gasket material.

mark poulson Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Maybe you could use a tall, thin salsa jar. If my lure is too long, I dip it head first, and then reverse it, and dip the tail section. I'm using AC1315, and I haven't dipped/flip double dipped anything longer than a Sammie. I dip directly into the metal can it came in, but a glass jar should work for GST, too, if your lures are longer.

imagine_studios Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I ended up finding a glass vase type thing at the craft store. It was with all the fake flowers, they had vases that were 20" tall. I ended up with a 12" that's about 4" across the top with straight sides, should be just about perfect. Can't beat the price either, $4.97. I had something similar that was 7" tall, but wasn't sure how big of a mess the reverse flip dip would make, so I went with the larger one. Walmart for the pickle jar was the next step if the craft store wouldn't have paid off, but I lucked out. Thanks for the help Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
