Pledge furniture polish has silicone in it... they even sell it in packets of wipeys.

Here is another possibility for product bottles. While I like the little cosmetic pots, I am very concerned about airtightness. A friend sent me a container of Rejex to try, and it turned into chalky gunk after six months. These bottles look like they'd have a tight seal, and are designed for holding chemicals.

Oh right... oil...
If Pledge leaves a silicone residue then I don't know why it wouldn't work... but I never tried it with oil.
I guess that leaves the chain spray.

I think that Max-Pro Heavy Duty Silicone is the best option for Scout families who don't want to try to import Jig-a-Loo. Pony Express over at PDDR has done a lot of testing with it, and claims it's equivalent to Jig, with less odors. We'd still have to have folks buy it separately, but that's exactly what John does, too. |

Pony Express over at PDDR? When did that happen.
Oh! Who cares! Speaking of other leagues...
I don't even recognize APR as a league. Hell! I don't even know anyone that races over there!
Does APR even exist anymore? I've been banned from there so long that I figured that it went the way of the Global Derby Society.
Those fellas really know how to draw people in, eh? LOL!

I have looked over too many pages of these tiny jars, containers, etc over the years... Do you think that anybody could think to put a Goddam dime in the photo for scale? |

Specs say the bottles are 7cm tall. |

I don't think those are dark enough.

I don't think those are dark enough.  They come in different shades, that you can specify when you order. The purple is pretty dark, but still translucent. The white is opaque. |

For some reason... I want to say polypropelene jars of wax.
Dunno exactly... just my gut instinct talking.
Not sure if there is price difference...
yes... I think it might be important. not sure.

Well, polypropylene is definitely less reactive than other plastics. Still, if stuff like Rejex is safe to use on your car's clear coat, it can't be /that/ corrosive. Maybe I should ask somebody who has a bottle of Rejex to look at the stamp and see what kind of plastic it is made out of...? |

PET is tuff to react with... but poly prop is magic.
What type of bottles do vendors use?
I suggest that you write to Maglev to see what he thinks.
He is really good with that stuff.

Maglev already bailed on this place, and I'm not sure he likes me much. I have too much of that "loudmouth who doesn't send cars in often enough" stink about me.  Here's the MSDS on Rejex. Looks like the primary corrosive is petroleum distillates. Interestingly enough, according to this chart, PET is actually superior to Polypropylene for storing petroleum distillates. |

We both share that pungent scent, my friend. It isn't easy being an iconoclast... some will just never get it. I know that Jim gravitymafia has a bottle of that wax, so I am going to send out the alarm for him to start chiming in here. The Original Disruptor needs to weigh in on this caper. |
