Hi Rudy,
Thanks for the information.  I think it is noteworthy that I only had 2
responses to my need for formaldehyde/formic safety containers.  (The
other suggestion I had was to pester farmers for feed containers in a
land far far away.  That was a much appreciated suggestion from one of
our uk brothers.  Thanks for that too.)

Do you think that is because there are so many good ones out there, or
because there are so few?  Is there a need for vendors to fill for GOOD
fume-leak-proof containers?  The company that made the ones I ordered a
few years ago is out of business.  The lids have cracked and I have yet to
find new lids that would work with them.  These things are pricey;  I hate
to have to buy all new ones because the lids didn't hold up.

Thanks again,

Trisha
