FWIW...I've been using Crest Pro-Health mouthwash 1 liter containers. They are clear plastic, labels come off easily, and the screw on tops accepts ketchup bottle fuel pumps.

Not sure I'd trust metal cans...Had too many rust and/or leak on me.

Hi, Gil. Brodak sells thinner in pint and quart cans - you may be able to get some from him.

I have recently used some 1 qt plastic RC giant scale fuel tanks for this purpose. They are a good size, and come with useful fittings. You would only need to change to glow compatible silicone tubing. Go to www.bennettbuilt.com and check out the 32 oz rectangular smoke tank. The smoke tank has a standard clunk, while the gas tank has a felt filter clunk. You can also buy extra caps to seal the bottle between trips to the field.

Ask at your local paint stores, both auto and home type paints. Some do, some don't.  H^^ Steve
